Watched a fab movie on DVD this past week, "Puccini for Beginners" (2006). A quirky little New York flick about people with money, intellect, and gender bending romance! The lead chickita Allegra (Elizabeth Reaser) in the flick identifies as a lesbian, however falls for a sexy little professor boy Philip (Justin Kirk), yet simultaneously starts up a romance with Grace (Gretchen Mol).
How often do you get to see a bi gal, having believable on screen sex, with both genders, in a somewhat mainstream movie? I kept my expectations in check (mindless fodder, Lily, mindless fodder!), and was very pleased with the result! I recommend it!
Justin Kirk just impresses the hell out of me, first in "Angels in America" (amazing acting!!!), and then "Weeds" (sometimes he "phones it in" on the series, but his charm overcomes this).
I just have this deep feeling Justin would make a fabulous tranny girl, don't you? He's one of those boys of undefined orientation, like Frankenfurter in "Rocky Horror Picture Show", that somehow attracts on BOTH gender levels. Masculine and feminine intertwined...
They even have a little conversation about BDSM and safe words that I rather liked :) Check the flick out, if you appreciate bi girls and bois, educated banter, and some sexy flesh fests!
