Naked on the Inside
There are two versions of this documentary available - one with six subjects (the feature version), and the television version that I watched, which has five. The subjects have been carefully selected, each having a different issue with their own self-image of their body. Traditionally structured as an edited series of talking heads, we gradually build up a picture of each of Farrant’s subjects. Once a British postman, now a dancer, Dave Toole has no legs, and a nice line in self-deprecating humour. His relationship with his mother is delightfully dry and honest as the film explores his search for a girlfriend. Rick Stray, a young wife and mother from the Sunshine Coast believes her dishonesty in having an affair has led to her body’s production of cancer. We follow her no-holds-barred discussion of her cancer and the effect of its treatment on her body and image of herself. Meanwhile in Taipei, Marcus Van is a woman, “passing” as a man, teaching Sunday School. Shirley Sheffield is an American fat activist and founding member of The Padded Lilies, a synchronised swimming troupe of larger women. And model Carre Otis, discusses her own struggle with weight and the fashion industry’s sexualisation of the female body.As with all documentaries in this style, some of the subjects are far more interesting than others. It all depends on how frankly they are prepared to answer the unseen interviewer’s questions. Also central to such a documentary’s success is what we might think of as the “star” quality of the players. Do they grab our attention as they talk into the camera? Here Farrant has employed an interesting technique in what is called the “self-portraits”. Each subject is left alone in a room with the camera and invited to strip down to their bare essentials while venting their own feelings about their body. For me, the effect of this was twofold. It was at once extremely intimate, yet also strangely contrived. I wondered about the connection the director was inviting us (and the subjects) to make between literal nakedness and an emotional baring of the soul. Does it necessarily follow that just because the body is without clothes and ornamentation that some inner truth will spring forth from that body, clearly articulating an epiphany about contemporary body image. For me, this technique also raised other questions about the camera as voyeur and at what point nudity on film becomes gratuitous, rather than informing the arc of the narrative. Perhaps this viewing discomfort was the point the documentary was trying to make, but for me it didn’t really enhance the film’s effect.The problem here was perhaps also one of identification. In her choice of subjects, Farrant has tried very hard to choose unusual stories, but in some cases they are so unusual that the everyday viewer is left with no foothold with which they might enter into these stories and find a point of connection. Arguably this is the difference between a good documentary and great one. At the end of Naked on the Inside, I had an interesting picture of the five subjects. I was less sure I had gained any new insights about the contemporary culture of the body.

Open Window
This is a wonderful mpeg. It is well crafted, beautifully written and sensitively shot. It deals with a topic that is difficult to view.The treatment of this violent subject is amazingly soft and thoughtful. It brought me to tears in it’s simplicity. And I think it is this delicate treatment that is the strength of the piece.By carefully, tenderly working through the torment of the character and bringing her through to the other side we, as the audience are given a sexy gift–the gift of hope.I understand why there is such a groundswell of support for this movie. It is a testament to all who have been through any trauma.

Ryan Kwanten Shirtless in “GQ”
True Blood hottie Ryan Kwanten would like to keep his pants on but that doesn’t stop him from going shirtless in the sexy September 2009 issue of GQ.“I led the way in the sexual-shenanigans department in the first season,” says the 32-year-old Australian native. “[But] this season, Anna Paquin is far more nude than I am.”More undressed Sookie? Sounds like that means more nude Eric too!

Angelina Jolie Shows a Bit of Leg Off in Her Dress Attending Cannes
You don’t find photos like this of Angelina anymore since she’s adopted 1000 kids and had some of her own, and I am excited to see her legs again. They hang nicely out of her dress as she walks up some stairs at Cannes with Brad. While she doesn’t quite show the skin she once used to, maybe it’s more exciting to see now because they are hidden goods. Something about things you can’t easily have that makes you want them oh so much more. Women should know what I am talking about at least, hah! If you want to see the biggest celebrity photo collection around and download tons and tons of raw sex tapes you have to check out Celeb Taboo.

L’amore ritrovato
This is a slow and sentimental mood piece, the story of a love affair between a man and a woman in Italy before World War II. The man we discover is married with a child. The woman has some secrets in her past. But they enjoy each other’s company. If that does not sound like a lot of plot, there is a little more to the film but not much. This is not the kind of film where the viewer can expect a lot to happen. This is a film for people who enjoy seeing attractive lovers together and who like to listen to the romantic strains of an orchestral score with a lot of stringed instruments. It is a sad BRIEF ENCOUNTER sort of film except that the encounter is not really brief.
