A close-up profile shot of two people facing each other in intimate, dim lighting. On the left, a young-ish man with tousled reddish-brown hair, an earring, and a beard, wearing a blue collared shirt, gazes intently at the woman across from him. On the right, a fortysomething woman with wavy blonde hair, winged eyeliner, dark lipstick, and dark manicured nails wearing a burgundy latex or vinyl garment touches her fingers to her chin as she looks back at him with a slight smile. The background is a soft, blurred gradient of blue and lavender tones, suggesting a nightclub or party atmosphere.

About I Want Your Sex

Stuck in a relationship going nowhere with his girlfriend Minerva (Charli xcx) and confused about his sexuality, frustrated and neurotic twentysomething Elliott (Hoffman) finds himself suddenly at the sexual beck and call of his boss, domineering and ultra-confident art gallery boss Erika (Wilde). Is this a toxic relationship or is there something deeper growing between these apparently very different people?

Exploring generational differences, sexual politics and queerness with his customary visual panache, fearlessness and affection, iconic director Araki makes a welcome return to feature filmmaking with this funny and weirdly moving battle of the sexes.

  1. Two figures stand on a vast, arid coastal flat under a pale, hazy sky. In the foreground, an older man with silver-streaked hair and a full grey beard wears a coarse, draped olive-green robe, his expression stern and weathered. Behind him, a younger woman in cream-coloured linen — a sleeveless dress and a loose head wrap — looks forward with a furrowed brow. The landscape stretches behind them: shallow tidal mudflats reflecting muted light, with low rocky ridges visible in the far distance. The overall palette is desaturated and sun-bleached.

  2. Three South Asian musicians perform outdoors on a colorful patterned rug. The central figure wears a vivid red embroidered vest with tasseled fringe and a red-and-purple striped turban, playing a double-piped wind instrument (likely a satara/algoza). To the left, a man in a white kurta and embroidered vest plays a stringed instrument resting on his lap. To the right, a man in a blue cap and patterned vest plays a dhol-style hand drum. A fourth partially visible person sits behind them. The backdrop shows a mud-brick structure and dense green trees under a hazy sky.
