The Dilemma of Desire

8/31/2020

The clash between gender politics and what’s considered to be the social norm is given a fresh spin in “The Dilemma of Desire,” director Maria Finitzo’s rebellious documentary that explores the work of four outspoken women who are shattering myths about female sexuality and eroticism. Through the eyes of an artist who creates works based on the female anatomy, an industrial designer who constructs vibrators, a neuroscientist who studies the biology of the clitoris, and a psychologist working to dismantle outdated notions about women’s arousal, the film will empower women by encouraging them to take control of their sexuality by speaking out, standing up, and to stop being ashamed. This is a good looking and well-crafted documentary. Beautiful graphics and animation add to the story,
