Everyone who worked on this movie is named Jacques.
It took me a while to get on Play Time's wavelength. For about half an hour I was a little thrown for a loop, wondering if anything - anything at all - was going to happen. Thankfully it did. And then it continued to happen. I do think it's too long, and when it's not being farcical chaos or a subtle meditation of modernity malaise then it's a let-down. But... something…

Inspired by this review of Castration Movie, A Heterosexual Monologue grew from a pretty dark place in my mind, bolstered by the recent supreme court decision here in the UK ("supreme" my arse). I was thinking a lot about the relationship between trans women and cis men, and how it's so often transactional, fetishistic, toxic, envious, or otherwise very dehumanising. I found myself at the conclusion…
