Araki, Hoffman, Wonders & Gooding unpack I Want Your Sex

Gregg Araki has long been known for pushing the boundaries of cinema, often tackling subjects involving sex and violence with a signature smirk that somehow lands perfectly. His latest venture, I Want Your Sex, continues this tradition by embracing the old-fashioned sex comedy while injecting it with a surprisingly warm heart.

I Want Your Sex brings together an incredible ensemble cast to explore the wild and woolly dynamics of desire on screen. At the center of the film is the dynamic between Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman, who deliver a standout performance as a woman who hires a young man (Hoffman) as her “sexual muse.”

The film is packed with talent, featuring fantastic supporting work from a stellar group including Mason Gooding, Chase Sui Wonders, Johnny Knoxville, Margaret Cho, and Charli XCX. The sheer variety of performers adds layers of chaotic energy to the narrative.

When we sat down with Araki, along with the cast and crew, the atmosphere was immediately comfortable and palpable. The group shared insights into the wild creativity involved in bringing I Want Your Sex to life and the unique characters they were tasked with inhabiting.

Cooper Hoffman spoke about the intensity of working so closely with Olivia Wilde, highlighting the strong connection he found with his co-star. Araki, reflecting on his return to the big screen after a twelve-year hiatus, discussed the complex themes of sex and violence in filmmaking, offering his original perspective on how these subjects can be explored on screen.

The conversation highlighted the sheer talent Araki consistently manages to gather for his projects. It was clear that the cast and crew brought an infectious energy to the set, demonstrating a shared commitment to taking on unique roles.

I Want Your Sex is currently playing in theaters, offering audiences a wild, witty, and deeply engaging cinematic experience.
