Don’t get the wrong idea and assume all the Wednesday night features have the same content, however. Each film has it’s own ratio of skin to sensuality, so take a moment and read up about the films in order to choose one that will excite and not offend. Whether you’re a romantic or an erotic (or both), Hump Night has something that will please even the most wholesome movie-goer.
I had the chance to screen a couple of Hump Night features, so I’ll get the ball rolling for you. Here are the synopses for both the UK feature, Brilliantlove, and the Italian film, Come Undone (Cosa voglio di piu). If you can answer yes to the majority of the questions following the synopses, these films are for you! If not, check the Hump Night Line-Up for something more your speed. Here we go!
Brilliantlove - United Kingdom, 2010, 97 minutes
The love and respect of a bohemian, sexually charged couple is tested. Manchester is a budding photographer whose favorite subject is the sexual images and acts shared between himself and his girlfriend, Noon. One evening, he accidentally leaves a package of developed photos behind at a pub, and they are found by an enthusiastic pornographer, Franny, who is eager to encourage the artistic career of the author. Franny tracks Manchester down, and tempts him with fame and fortune. Manchester can’t wait to reveal his first exhibition and move out of the storage shack he and Noon have converted into a modest flat, but Noon is skeptical of Franny, and unaware of the nature of the images he is about to release.

Anna is in a long-term relationship with affectionate Alessio. They share an apartment, hobbies, and a comfortable love for each other. Tired of her daily routine as an office worker and sedentary girlfriend, Anna is seduced into a passionate affair with waiter Domencio, who has a wife and children himself. The two meet once a week during the hours of Domencio’s regular swim practice, but it soon becomes an insufficient amount of time to please the lovers.
