Kinsey
View through CrossRef
Abstract Bio-pics can be tediously middle-brow affairs that simplify lives rather than probe complexity and contradiction, but Bill Condon's Kinsey is a great exception. Structured around the taking of a sex history—Kinsey's own—this film explores the convergence of teaching, research, and a life all driven by sex. Condon's film navigates shrewdly between Kinsey as the brave crusader and Kinsey as the man with his own sexual demons.
