Cinephile No. 510 “The Little Death”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

"The Little Death" is the funniest movie I have ever seen about the subject of sex. I know that’s a bold statement, because every movie seems to be about sex, but this movie did something different. It took a handful of couples and focused on what they needed to achieve “the little death” which is another name for an orgasm. One girl wants to be raped by her partner (one of those rare cases where rape was actually funny), another woman is turned on by her partner’s tears and quite possibly strangest of all is a couple who take role playing too far. There are a few other couples thrown in there, but all need something special to reach that moment of ecstasy. Of all the movies I saw at this year’s Seattle International Film Festival, this is the one I am most excited for other people to see.

 

Thanks for entering my world, ​

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
