Premium Pornography
A Catholic school boy trying to understand his budding sexuality looks to the animal kingdom for answers. The ingeniously devised, “Premium Pornography,” directed by Simon Ruscinski, is a comedic exploration of masturbation, condom purchasing, and alien psychology. It takes the form of a deadpan multimedia presentation proposing a suspended high school student be admitted to return to school. Edgar Lewis is a 16-year-old boy from Ontario, Canada (with a “swimmers body”) who is punished at school for being caught “diddling himself.” Sent home for an indeterminate period, he sets out to create a video apology, but mostly he just gets distracted by the sex lives of the animal world — primates, penguins, ducks, rodents, you name it, they all have a story to tell. It’s a unique concoction, unapologetically juvenile on the topics of sex and pornography, but surprisingly poetic in its ruminations of alien life and projections into the future. -KA.
