Ram Gopal Varma is back - both on Twitter and on a hand-held screen near you. The filmmaker, who took a break from social media, returns with a new film titled God, Sex and Truth (that news-appropriately finds a suitable abbreviation in GST). And the only reason HE’s making news this time is because he’s got popular adult film actor Mia Malkova to play along for what he says is “...neither a film, nor a short film nor a series ...it’s about Mia Malkova speaking about Sex and how much it means to her.”
The trailer calls God, Sex and Truth “a philosophical treatise of Mia Malkova” and once you sit through the entire 3 odd minutes of it, you can easily conclude that it’s nothing but RGV’s pretentious attempt to openly intellectually masturbate about sex, while letting his camera ogle over every inch of Mia.
The GST trailer picks out some quotable quotes, which Mia addresses to her audience with a total dead pan face.
Sample these:
If that wasn’t enough, the trailer is also littered with quotes from Sigmund Freud, Henry Miller, Hugh Hefner and Woody Allen (uh oh!) among others - just to make it look like it isn’t a trivial piece of excuse for a brain dead, pretentious fap aid .
With every film that Ram Gopal Varma has been pushing out since 2010, comes the reaction that that the filmmaker has “officially lost it”, and it’s more evident with his latest outing. But, RGV believes he’s on a social mission with God, Sex and Truth. His aim, in his own words is to “...make people lose both their hypocrisy and their guilt to become free willed sexual beings and just immerse themselves in a sea of sexual joy.”
And to meet that end:
God, Sex and Truth will be released online (collective sigh by film critics) on, wait for it... 26 January.
On another note, it’s 2018 - twenty years since RGV’s Satya. Just saying.
