Smoke
T1895161497
A modern adaptation of August Strindberg's ground-breaking play, Miss Julie. The story takes place in a pre-Me Too New York City at a BDSM party. Julie is a privileged college dropout dipping her toes into the world of S&M. John is a cynical struggling artist willing to act as her guide. Their whirlwind encounter starts as a sexually charged game of cat and mouse. As they get to know each other, these seemingly self-possessed characters have their boundaries and notions of consent challenged. The consequences are irreparable and unsettling.
Smoke is a piercingly witty and sometimes painful exploration of gender, sexuality and desire. It reminds us that, similar to these imperfect characters, we still have much to learn.
