In the opening sequence, a man named Peter Cort (Matthew Ferguson) brings a manuscript on "The Psychosexual Meanings of Circumcision and the Foreskin" to a Pierre Trudeau-obsessed typist, Peter Koosens (Michael Achtman). From this scene we learn tidbits such as the fact that "85 percent of American males continue to be clipped each year at the cost of half a billion dollars." Greyson, a la Greenaway, brings the terror of circumcision disturbingly home by thoughtfully inserting footage of an actual operation into a small windowbox within the frame. Parallel to Peter Cort's fixation on circumcision are a dazzling array of plot strands. Peter Koosen's lust for Pierre Trudeau is noticed by a female cop, who trails him as he wanders near the prime minister's residence. This Peter also |
fabricates photographs showing him and his would-be beloved together, and writes letters suggesting at least a massage. Meanwhile, a third Peter comes on the scene: Peter Denham (Damon Oliveira), a video artist with a yen for the Jackson Five. Having all the main characters named Peter is the film's own ingenious pitch for a sexually liberated, "uncut" world. The third Peter dates the other two, but alienates Peter the typist by appropriating the latter's fake photos into a revamped Jackson Five video. Meanwhile, the three are arrested and sent to an open-air "prison", where they're forced to study dryer lint and mucous. Trudeau ends up in a coma, but is saved at the last minute by Peter Cort, who slips an unusual medicine into the P.M.'s mouth. |
The story is about three gay men named Peter. It also plays into Pierre Trudeau's (the Prime Minister of Canada) possible homosexuality. |
