"The Little Death" (Josh Lawson, Australia)

Not many comedies leave me grinning from ear to ear but this wonderful, edgy Aussie sex comedy did just that.  The film follows the stories of a bunch of different couples as they explore phone sex, fetishes, and even a rape fantasy (I know, right?)

It all sounds terribly sordid but the script and acting is so delightful that you can't help cheering.  In fact, there is one extended scene involving two deaf people and a phone sex call that is one of the funniest, most romantic things I've seen in years.  Those 20 minutes alone make the entire ticket price worth it.  Luckily, the rest of the film is just as hilarious.

I loved this comedy.  Loved it.  A must-see if it makes it into North American theaters.
