Director: Mike Figgis Producer: Mike Figgis Rating: III
Content: Told in a non-linear maner, The Loss of Sexual Innocence follows the life of Nic, a film ethnographer, through different periods in his life: as a young boy growing up in Kenya, as an adolescent coping with his first sexual encounter, and as a grown man involved in a stale marrige. All the events are connected and begin with the character's sexual sctivities, causing unredeemable lost in soul towrads the end. Visually stunning and hypnotically scored, Mike Figgis(Leaving Las Vegas) succesfully pushes the limit of narration, replacing dialogues with captivating sight and sound.
