Kinsey

Kinsey (2004) Fox Searchlight Pictures

Starring:
Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Chris O’Donnell

Directed by:
Bill Condon

Sexologist/researcher Alfred Kinsey dared to go where society resisted—revealing the curious condition of human sexuality and daring to bring it out in the mainstream forefront. Considering the era in late 1940’s America where exploring sexual attitudes in the open was a hush-hush and audacious gesture to consider, Kinsey was the unlikely anti-establishment cultural icon to approach this titillating topic of sexuality as a relevant crusade that incorporated intellectual and intriguing forethought.

With his breakout literate reads in the detailed manifestos “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male” and “Sexual Behavior in the Human Female”, the articulate and inquisitive Indiana University professor shook up the times and made it fashionable to give insight into a taboo subject that needed investigating if not understanding. Long before the likes of Playboy’s partyboy Hugh Hefner enlightened generations of horny coming-of-age males of all ages or impish Dr. Ruth Westheimer talking about sex as commonplace as eating a snow cone, Dr. Kinsey was the ultimate maverick for the sexual cynic. Undeniably, he made it fashionable to regard the concept of sexual practices as something to acknowledge more than just whispering behind guarded bedroom doors.

Writer-director Bill Condon (“Gods and Monsters”) delivers a nostalgically nuanced bio-pic that captured the repressed spirit and gradual liberation of a physically intimate human need that’s wallowed in sensationalistic heresay of perversion and uptightness. Liam Neeson is absolutely involving as the champion behind sexual habits and the psychological motivations for how humans and amorous feelings are cultivated and shaped by our complex psyches.

Unassumingly intoxicating in its frivolity and frankness, Kinsey arouses in more ways than one.
