I.K.U.

Shapes are shifted, taboos are broken, and genders are bent in this psychedelic live-action video game for (horny) adults. A stunning experimental piece by Shu Lea Cheang, I.K.U. blurs the lines of culture, gender, space, and language to create a ravishing mélange of imagery and sound. Vivid, explicit sex performances are framed in pop, post-industrial videoscapes where computer animation and graphics meld seamlessly with live action. Don't expect a traditional cinematic experience - there isn't a straightforward plot to be found. And it's not exactly porn - you won't find anything like this in the back room of your neighborhood video store. Put away your assumptions and come see this unique marvel of sight, sound, and sex.

I.K.U.; Shu Lea Cheang, director; 2000; Japan; 88 minutes; video
