Addicted to Fuck

Fuck, a documentary about the origin and various uses of this colorful four-letter word was a hit with a packed audience. Filled with humor and amusing guests – from Hunter S. Thompson to Ice-T – the film touches on socio-political issues and follow the multiple incarnations of the F-word, from the street to the big screen. See it before it gets censored by your local multiplex.

Talking about fucking, Addiction, a Finnish entry about a woman’s descent into sexual addiction, provided a fresh feminine perspective on the subject. Treated with subtlety and supported by a strong cast, this fine character study avoided gratuitous voyeurism and pathos to focus on the irreversible mechanism of addiction.
