Orgasm Inc. – Il trailer
In the shocking and hilarious documentary ORGASM INC., filmmaker Liz Canner takes a job editing erotic videos for a drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary. Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits. ORGASM INC. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire — and that ultimate moment: orgasm.
Guarda caso, poco dopo The Perfect Vagina, mi capita sotto gli occhi questo articolo di Wired su Orgasm Inc.: un documentario sul mondo della medicina, più o meno scientifica, spesso al confine dello sciacallaggio sulle disgrazie altri, dedicata al risolvere il “female sexual arousal disorder”.
La tesi del documentario di Liz Canner è che molti di questi personaggi tanto attenti al “benessere” delle donne tra le lenzuola siano in realtà interessati una volta di più a trasformare un aspetto spesso doloroso della vita psicologica delle persone (vedi le cure a base di Ritalin ai bambini irrequieti) in un lucrativo business.
Qui la recensione di Wired.
