‘I Want Your Sex', the first film from New Queer Cinema pioneer Gregg Araki (‘Mysterious Skin', ‘The Doom Generation') in 12 years, will arrive in cinemas on 29th August 2026 via Black Bear.
The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival in January and it features an all-star cast headlined by Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman. Wtch the trailer below:
‘I Want Your Sex' tells the story of Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), a kind-hearted if unmotivated twentysomething whose fantasies quickly come true when he lands a job with renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde). When Erika breaks down office boundaries and takes Elliot on as her sexual muse and subordinate, their sexually charged relationship makes him question his own desires, boundaries, and relationships with his uptight girlfriend (Charli XCX) and repressed roommate (Chase Sui Wonders). As the stakes heighten and power dynamics shift, the film mixes satire, romantic comedy, mystery, and murder through the colourful and edgy visual language for which Araki is best known.
Directed by Araki, the film is written by Karley Sciortino & Gregg Araki. Alongside Wilde and Hoffman, it also stars Mason Gooding, Chase Sui Wonders, Johnny Knoxville, Margaret Cho, Roxane Mesquida, with Charli XCX and Daveed Diggs. Take a look at the poster for the film below:
