Known among my friends to be a lover of cult classics, I was recommended this a while ago and was at first fairly sceptical, which is unusual for me.
Today, we're subject to so much Americanised sexualisation in pop cinema, and this film was an immediate breath of fresh air, having a quirky and awkward feel to it - a feeling that the British seem to excel at recreating on screen. Our protagonist, Peter, is a conservative Christian looking to get involved in parliament, and is instantly likable, whilst, who first appears to be the antagonist of the film is the bisexual and beautiful Tanya Cheex.
I was very surprised that it had taken it so long for someone to recommend it to me. It's extremely ahead of its time and I think of it as a sort of prog film in a way. Looking back to recent events, such as the face-sitting demonstrations in London, it couldn't be more relevant to today's society, especially with the new look of the LGBT community.
The story of the film revolves around a conservative (little 'c' on purpose) government aiming to quash the kinky uprisings of Cheex, seeing her as a figure of sexual corruption and hideous perversion. They use Peter, desperate for a path into government, as some kind of spy figure tasked with infiltrating the House of Thwax - Tanya's perverted domaine.
This film is entertaining throughout and I cannot wait to bump into another fan. Unfortunately for you, every minute you spent reading this review are minutes of certain fandom that you are depriving yourself of! A must watch.
