Don't Wait till You're 76 to Orgasm! The Pleasure Is All Mine with Filmmaker Vanessa Sandre
Shot in Brazil, in the short film, The Pleasure Is All Mine, Filmmaker Vanesa Sandre raises two pertinent questions: why is female sexuality such a taboo subject? And why is it so rare to see a woman’s sexual journey carried out on screen, especially by a 76-year old who has never had an orgasm?
During our limited time on earth, most of us want to live the best life possible. That includes experiencing sexual pleasure. For some of us, this sensation can last well up into our 80’s, or even until death. We may not want to think of ourselves or our elders as having desires or being sexually active beyond our golden years. But, if you’re active in your youth, you may find little change in your sexual practices and urges as you age. In fact, they may even become more intense.
In this interview, Vanessa and I discuss these very real stats and truths of sexuality in retirement homes. We also talk about what led her to make this film, drawing upon her feminist film theory studies and her quest to present the female perspective as a counterpoint to the ever-so dominant male view in the film industry. Highly influenced by European feminist theorists, like Laura Mulvey, and female directors, like Agnès Varda and Chantal Akerman, Vanesa continues to shine a new light on telling women’s stories.
Through the main character Amélia (who married a young virgin, raised a family, put her own needs last and spouse doesn’t listen to her) the film depicts an elderly woman's journey to discover pleasure and explore her own sexuality. We witness her bittersweet experimentation towards freedom and pleasure without the typical shame or embarrassment associated with these topics. Instead, there is humor, joy and relief in her self discovery that we can all learn from.
