Quote:
"The art-house crowd might be lining up with the raincoat brigade at Cinematheque this week for the raunchy pro-porn romp Bubbles Galore. A word of advice: It's impossible to overstate the raw and sexually graphic nature of this Canadian flick, brought to us by ex-Winnipegger Greg Klymkiw, the man who produced Guy Maddin's early work. Whatever you're hoping for—or fearing—this low-budget oddity, winner of Best Film at the Freak Zone International Festival, will go farther. And then some. Toronto director Cynthia Roberts' previous feature, The Last Supper, took a sombre look at AIDS. This time out she's in ridiculously high spirits, starting out with a dreamy, candy-coloured vision of heaven, presided over by a half-naked Annie Sprinkle as God. Sprinkle is an American performance artist, self-described 'pleasure activist,' and former sex worker. If Annie is God, you can imagine what the rest of the universe is like. Down on earth, there's trouble brewing in the porn industry between two rival directors. Bubbles Galore represents pleasure, female empowerment, and good, clean, dirty fun, while her arch-nemesis and former lover Godfrey Montana stands for brute power, female enslavement, and sheer nastiness."
