KINSEY
Here's another biopic that got rave reviews this fall. Kinsey
traces the life story of the sex researcher whose famous "Kinsey
Report" in the 1940s not only changed the way Americans thought
about sex, but continues to reverberate today.
Plot Summary: Academy Award-winner Bill Condon ("Gods and
Monsters," "Chicago") explores the life of the pioneer
of human sexuality research, Alfred Kinsey (Liam Neeson). Spanning
six decades from his childhood in the early 1900s to his death in
1956, the film turns the microscope on the man whose landmark studies
on the sexual behaviors of the common man rocked a nation. The interviewer
of tens of thousands, Kinsey subjected his own life and that of
his researchers to the same type of analysis that produced his 1948
best-selling book "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male."
But while the Kinsey team's focus was predominantly outward, perhaps
what they learned about themselves was as great as that which they
taught their country. (comingsoon.net)
