‘I want to discuss this topic because it is core to gay culture nowadays. With the quick development of social networks, gay people can now be open about their sexual orientation without the embarrassment of barking at the wrong tree,’ he said. Huang told Gay Star News that even though there are ‘more and more’ Taiwanese queer films, none have explored hookup culture and sex in this way. Though it is X-rated, it is the emotions behind our current sex culture that I want to explore,’ he said.
‘This is a film talking about love through sex. Huang got fed up with seeing international gay films that explored explicit sex and decided to broach the taboo subject at home. The explicit orgy sequence, full of symbolism, also serves as commentary to the sex ‘roles’ in gay culture, because each of the five characters represent an animal – a bear, dog, cat, wolf and peacock. It explores the psychological and emotional consequences of contemporary hookup culture. Huang Ting-Chun’s film follows five Taipei men that meet for a group-sex party after meeting on a gay app. The film has just had its global release and can be watched on Vimeo. Sodom’s Cat is the daring new original production on Asia’s first LGBT streaming service GagaOOLala.
A bold new film featuring an explicit orgy scene is about to shake up the Asian film scene.
