Ah yes at last it is Wednesday and the long awaited “Hump Night” has arrived! What is hump night you ask? Well mid week is often referred to as hump day, and therefore the night, “Hump Night” is when the fearless predators come out to play a little dirtier. Well at least they do in Sook Yin Lee’s directorial debut The Year of the Carnivore.
This is a quirky comedy about 21 year old Sammy Smalls who works a dead end job as a detective at a local grocery store, capturing shop lifters while entertaining us in her amusing under cover disguises. Sammy finds her self smitten for her musician friend Eugene Zasalavsky. As they take their relationship to a new level, Eugene tells Sammy that she lacks experience, and should get some more when it comes to getting down and dirty. So begins Sammy’s predatory hunt for intimate experiences that are quite out of the ordinary. Sammy’s comedic journey definitely teaches her a thing or two about what to do in the when the lights are out.
Wondering about your own inexperience, and looking for tips? I would not recommend experimenting with Sammy’s suggested schemes, as they may get you into trouble, unless off course you like that kind of trouble. However, I’m pretty sure you could learn a thing or two from Christina Aguilera’s lets get “Dirty” video, none the less you should definitely checkout Year of the Carnivore!Catch Year of the Carnivore at 7:00pm tonight at the Globe Theatre.
