Storyline
The Little Death is a truly original comedy about sex, love, relationships and taboo. In a multi story narrative, we peer behind the closed doors of a seemingly normal suburban street. A woman with a dangerous fantasy and her partners struggle to please her. A man who begins an affair with his own wife without her knowing anything about it. A couple struggling to keep things together after a sexual experiment spins out of control. A woman who can only find pleasure in her husband's pain. A call centre operator caught in the middle of a dirty and chaotic phone call. And the distractingly charming new neighbour who connects them all. The little Death explores why do we want what we want? How far will we go to get it? What are the consequences of that fleeting moment of sexual ecstasy?

The first thing I did after watching the film was check social media -
was it just me or did everyone else agree this was a great flick?
Happily it wasn't just me, I couldn't find a bad tweet. Yes, it's an
awkward topic, and not that I'm a prude but I did have trepidations
about going to see a movie about sexual fetishes. But actually, that's
what gave it it's humour, along with the incredible performances by not
one, but every single cast member. At no time did I wish that we went
back to one of the other story lines because each one was engaging in
its own right. The film somehow manages to be light hearted and
appealing to adults of all ages, while at the same time meandering
through sophisticated undertones and delivering a few thought provoking
messages. This is not just a fantastic example of Australian talent, it
is a brilliant movie.
