One film at this year’s Sundance will have you all gagging – quite literally, it sounds like.
Rotting In The Sun stars Sebastian Silva and Jordan Firstman playing characterised versions of themselves; and a few non-simulated sex scenes; you know the gays are method actors when it comes to sucking dick.
Silva plays a depressed director who is sent to a gay nude beach by his boss (we can think worse work trips) to get him out of his suicidal funk; there he saves influencer Firstman from drowning and the pair begin a collaboration on a new series.

Speaking to Variety, (in an interview we can only imagine had them a little taken aback), Firstman details just how those sex scenes went down.
“Everybody watches porn — It’s this thing where it can’t be in a movie or a TV show when we’re literally watching more porn than we are movies. The way we do it, symbolically, to me what it says about gay culture is that it’s meaningless. If there’s a cock there, I’m going to suck it. That’s how my life goes and how a lot of gay men’s lives go. It’s just there.”
“I have cocks down, down, down my throat,” Firstman describes of his performance in the film. “My cock is in somebody’s throat. The guy who plays the cock I sucked has a beautiful cock. I originally wanted the biggest cock we could find. I wanted to be sucking a 12-inch. We did casting… Sebastian sent me the first round of casting and I said, ‘Absolutely not!’”

Adding to that, Silva says he doesn’t want this to be the sole focus of the film:
“The sex is so graphic that it’s a double-edged sword. People, especially Americans, are so scared of genitals. I’m scared a little bit that a lot of people will center on the cocks and [only] talking about cocks when it’s just a trait of one of the characters.”
Here they are speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, saying that the cocks are not the most important part of the film, which is perhaps hard to imagine after that Variety interview.
Appearing at this year’s Sundance Festival, they write: “Darkly funny, refreshingly audacious in its depiction of sex, and with pitch-perfect performances, this wildly unconventional quasi-detective story adds to the unpredictable Silva’s eclectic body of work.”
