Editorial DVD Review

[Top]

One of the best films of 2004, Kinsey pays tribute to the flawed but honorable man who revolutionized our understanding of human sexuality. As played by Liam Neeson in writer-director Bill Condons excellent film biography, Indiana University researcher Alfred Kinsey was so consumed by statistical measurements of human sexual activity that he almost completely overlooked the substantial role of emotions & their effect on human behavior. This made him an ideal researcher & science celebrity who revealed that sexual behaviours previously considered deviant & even harmful are in fact common & essentially normal in the realm of human experience, but whose obsession with scientific method frequently placed him at odds with his understanding wife & research assistants. In presenting Kinsey as a driven social misfit, Condons film gives Neeson one of his finest roles while revealing the depth of Kinseys own humanity, & the incalculable benefit his research had on our collective sexual enlightenment. With humor, charm, & intelligence, Kinsey shines a light where darkness once prevailed.
