Out Takes Extra: Gregg Araki on ‘I Want Your Sex’ for the Sydney Film Festival

With his latest film ‘I Want Your Sex’ about to have its Australian Premiere at the Sydney Film Festival, we jumped at the opportunity to speak with Gregg Araki about the film, its incredible cast and more. Noted for his involvement with the New Queer Cinema movement, Gregg Araki’s filmography includes the Teenage Apocalypse film trilogy from the 90’s, consisting of Totally F\*\*\*ed Up, The Doom Generation and Nowhere, all which have been heralded as cult classics. His 2010 film Kaboom was also the inaugural winner of the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival. His latest film stars Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman and Charli XCX in what has been described as an enjoyably outrageous, risqué sex-comedy, set in the Los Angeles contemporary art scene. For this Out Takes Extra, we discussed his motivation for telling this story, his influence on the lead characters and how he feels now about being labelled one of the pioneers of New Queer Cinema. As expected, he is full of great stories and insights, so we highly recommend you listen to this then book your tickets immediately for ‘I Want Your Sex’ at the Sydney Film Festival before they sell-out!
