Touch Me Not

The 2018 winner of the Golden Bear at Berlin blurs fiction with reality as it explores intimacy, attraction, and human sexuality.

“As we meet Pintilie, she’s making a video essay with Laura (Laura Benson), a middle-aged Englishwoman who’s unable to allow herself physical pleasure. In her quest for answers, Laura hires a handsome hustler, a Tantric Sex specialist and also turns to Hannah, a transsexual sex worker. At a group therapy session, Laura and Pintilie meet Christian Bayerlein, a remarkable man whose significant physical limitations are no barrier to a highly sexual life.” (Sydney Film Festival)
