Description

Brand new DVD without a factory seal.

One of the best films of 2004, Kinsey pays tribute to the flawed but honorable man who revolutionised our understanding of human sexuality. As played by Liam Neeson in writer-director Bill Condon’s excellent film biography, Indiana University researcher Alfred Kinsey was so consumed by statistical measurements of human sexual activity that he almost completely overlooked the substantial role of emotions and their effect on human behaviour.

This made him an ideal researcher and science celebrity who revealed that sexual behaviours previously considered deviant and even harmful (homosexuality, oral sex, etc.) are in fact common and essentially normal in the realm of human experience, but whose obsession with scientific method frequently placed him at odds with his understanding wife (superbly played by Laura Linney) and research assistants.

In presenting Kinsey as a driven social misfit, Condon’s film gives Neeson one of his finest roles while revealing the depth of Kinsey’s own humanity, and the incalculable benefit his research had on our collective sexual enlightenment. With humour, charm, and intelligence, Kinsey shines a light where darkness once prevailed.
