Chasing the Muse (2014). 1h 40m

“Now I was not aware of the previous movies the director (and star) of this movie had done. He apparantly was quite the rebel and had quite the interesting ideas back in the day. In this or rather with this, he seems to fulfill a personal … dream I reckon you could call it. Answering if he can still get it up and do it – and that means exactly what you think it means.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow the version he released is void of explicit sex – at least thatu0026#39;s what it looks like, I have not gone frame by frame to check if there is some frames that actually reveal something. Although revealing it still is – lots and lots of nudity. I can only guess that he keeps an uncut version or directors cut version for his own pleasure – literally.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow the way this is shot is quite artistic if you think of it and how much effort they went through, so you canu0026#39;t see anything – although towards the end there is some blurring, so even that they gave up on. Also the pseudo intellectual talk during the movie about women and men, worldviews on erotica and more are not shocking or revealing. They are just ramblings of an old man – now donu0026#39;t get me twisted, Iu0026#39;m not hating. Good for him for … pleasuring so many women (really a lot, not exaggerating!), but as a movie for others this does not really work. It can be enticing and arousing for some, because even though the framing doesnu0026#39;t allow us a clear view, we still know whatu0026#39;s going on – and we can hear them having (fake?) fun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt might have been a good idea overall, but Chasing the muse is neither philosophical nor as erotic as it thinks it is. Although if anything it is the latter rather than the former … reducing the u0026quot;Museu0026quot; to nothing more than a sex object. Which I gues overall might feel u0026quot;rightu0026quot; on how general women are viewed, but it would make a more interesting point if youu0026#39;d have some intelligent dialog and conversations coming from women too – no pun intended”
