Re: [UUPoly-L] POLY movie or video?




I am aware that many people - especially younger people - do not distinguish between a movie (film projection in a theatre) and a video (electronic representation, usually on a home screen). So, it might help us to help you find this if we knew whether this was a film shown in movie theatres around the country, or a video shown on a TV channel.


I'm aware of the blurred distinctions when a movie is repackaged and shown on a TV set, perhaps via a tape or DVD. Nevertheless, in researching a question like this, every bit of information is often useful.

Best regards to all, Chuck Lee.

Thanks anyway, but not even close. Your list seems interesting and will
follow-up. I do appreciate the effort you made in all your resources very
much.


I saw this movie within a few weeks to a month of seeing Sandra Bullock in
"Lake House". It was not a dated movie or a documentary---it was fiction
comedy. Did you read the summary on the movie I emailed yesterday?


Here is the summary again:
The movie is about a couple who has a lesbian roommate---on 2nd
thought maybe the roommate was bi---the roommate is secondary to the movie.
The husband is hetero, the wife is bi. The husband of the couple is a
college professor who is attracted to a new older female-student---or older
than most of his students (seems the student is from another country
maybe)---he does not want to cheat on his wife so he talks his wife into
putting an ad in the personals seeking a bi-woman for couple. The student
agrees to answer the personal ad---the three meet and the wife likes the
student so much that she leaves her husband out of the relationship. Then as
is inevitable, the wife finds out it is a set-up and goes crazy-angry----but
the wife comes to believe that the was not unfaithful, so the end leaves it
as the three just might make a relationship after all.


Has anyone seen this movie? Can you tell me the name or maybe the name of
any of the actors that were in it, please? Thanks so much. It was a fun
movie and I would like to give it as a gift to a friend, but not being able
to remember the name or who was in it make that difficult.

I think the one you are looking for is the 1975 movie, "Sandstone"

Most poly themed films are fiction, but there are two films about the
Canela Indians of Brazil who practice a kind of polyamory. I have
just seen the "Intimate Truths" film, and it spends a good part of
the film describing the multi partner extramarital sexual
relationships that are part of the Canela's culture.


Films on the polyamorous tribe of Brazilian Indians:

INTIMATE TRUTHS OF THE CANELA INDIANS OF BRAZIL, an ethnographic film
featuring the work of anthropologist Bill Crocker, curator emeritus
of the Smithsonian Institution, debuted on the Discovery Channel on
October 17. The film was co-produced by the Human Studies Film
Archives and Schecter Films. The film and an accompanying study guide
will be distributed by Films for the Humanities and Social Sciences
(http://www.films.com) under the title Mending Ways: The Canela
Indians of Brazil. Crocker's research is also featured in an online
exhibit, Canela Body Adornment
