Whole New Thing (Amnon Buchbinder, Canada 2005, 92 min) Thirteen -year-old Emerson is home-schooled by ultra-liberal parents in an atmosphere where casual nudity, recreational pot smoking and open discussions about sex are embraced. Forced to attend public school for the first time, he lands in the home room of a middle aged gay teacher whose lonely secret life consists of solitary nights at home with porn rags and anonymous sex in public washrooms. The precociously confident boy throws himself into this awakening of his heart with dangerous abandon. This is going to be a Whole New Thing. For everyone. www.wholenewthing.com |
