I wouldn't have high hopes. It's an Israeli film, and as we(ve seen with Joven Y Alocada, what is "graphic sex" in a relogious and coservative country can be very tame in another country !

Cannes shocks on day four

Cannes loves to shock and the fourth day of the film festival showcased movies that succeeded in raising eyebrows with their takes on religion and sexuality.
Hagar Ben Asher's Israeli drama, 'Slut' (featured in Critics' Week) explores female sexuality and Asher is perhaps the first woman director of a legitimate feature performing the sexually explicit scenes herself.
An attractive village woman, Tamar (Asher), who strangely resembles Julia Roberts, is obsessed with sex. She sells eggs at her farm during the day and services men at night, and when veterinarian Shai (Ishai Golan) returns to her neighbourhood, he becomes part of her happy harem.
But Shai unlike other men offers warmth and love and is even willing to play father to Tamar's two daughters.
The relationship between Tamar and Shai questions stereotypes of gender and morality and the film is replete with explicit sex scenes.
Italian master director Nanni Moretti's 'We Have A Pope', playing in the Festival's Competition, began by veering towards big controversy, but becomes tame by mid-point.
The film deals with the dilemma of the Vatican when it finds that its newly elected Pope wants to abdicate from his responsibilities as the head of all Catholics even before he ceremonially appears before the hundreds of men and women gathered at St Peter's Square.
The movie turns out to be not quite the sensitive moral comedy it was touted to be, though the first scenes mislead us into believing that Moretti was all set to shake the Vatican.

Yes you do have a point there but at the same time I have seen some pretty freaky Israeli films in the past so I am willing to give this a chance just like I did with Gift from above

I think what Godmod posted kind of helps me make my point. I mean, an indian news website talking of a film " replete with explicit sex scenes" ? Come on. In Bollywood a kiss is considered sexually explicit.
I think all we can expect is "explicitely suggestive" sex scenes. Or perhaps i've been disillusioned by many movies who got that sort of hype lately !

Exactly. The only indian film I know of that delivered was Gandu, and even then, that wasn't much.

Wasn't much?? What do you want from these films? That Gandu clip I have has almost everything. It kind of defeats the purpose if the whole movie is just explicit sex because you might as well watch a porn movie.

I meant in in the context of what the indian news websites say. It has nothing to do with what I want, didn't you read HellThom's post?

Yeah I did (Not trying to sound like an asshole, sorry if that's how it sounds) I wrote that when it was late, but what he says is "Indian websites consider kissing as explicit" which is pretty funny. Your reply suggests that Gandu does have explicit scenes, but still doesn't deliver enough. Maybe I read it wrong, when you typed "and even then, that wasn't much" but that sounded like personal opinion.

Anyway, I hope this film has some good stuff too. I still feel a little burned from Young & Wild and Elles! :mad:

I forgot to mention that there is also a short film to this as well guys and it has a very explicit rape scene of the lead actress which happens to be the director as well or at least from what I've been told about it I cannot verify but if anyone has access to cannes / mubi etc.. then please do share at least some pics
