Out

*Out* presents a domination and submission scene set in a mundane living room. The increasing pain prompts the sub to express both cries of pleasure and pain, as well as spoken sentences. The scene connotes both confessions under torture and rituals of exorcism. The utterances of the demon who speaks through the sub are all direct quotes from Avigdor Lieberman, one of the most extreme right-wing politicians in Israel. The ritual is framed by two additional scenes. A preceding interview with the two participants initially appears to be a straightforward documentary, but gradually transforms into an exposition of the narrative premise, in which one character is possessed and the other acts as an exorcist. The final musical scene is a song set to the words of the Russian poet Esenin’s *Letter to Mother*. Executed as a single continuous shot, the song serves as a direct, if twisted, homage to the final scene of another film dealing with radical sexuality and politics: Dusan Makavejev’s *WR: The Mystery of the Organism*.
