This is my entry for “D” in the Blogging A to Z Challenge. Throughout April I will be watching and reviewing a documentary movie from A to Z. Some other “D” documentaries I’ve reviewed are Dark Days, The Day the Series Stopped, The Day the Series Stopped, Dolphins, and Don’t You Forget About Me.
Title: Decoding Desire
Release Date: 2014
Director: Ryszard Hunka
Production Company: Merit Motion Pictures
Summary/Review:
This short documentary made for The Nature of Things on CBC investigates the science behind sexuality and sexual attraction in animals and how this relates to human sexuality. A key takeaway – and one obvious to anyone who gives it a moment of thought – is that the traditional understanding of sexual desire is biased by men who didn’t try to understand female sexuality in humans or other animals. In addition to the typical interviews with experts and film of various animals getting it on, the documentary is peppered with humorous animated segments.
What Can One Learn From Watching This Documentary:
Like many documentaries, Decoding Desire is a basic introduction to a complex questions and asks more questions than it answers. But they are big questions right up to trying to understand the reality of love.
