I Want Your Sex

Synopsis

Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman and Charli xcx star in Gregg Araki's enjoyably outrageous, risqué sex-comedy, set in the Los Angeles contemporary art scene. Sundance 2026.

Boyish, bushy-tailed Elliot (Hoffman) can't believe his luck when he's hired as the new assistant to provocative, successful contemporary artist Erika Tracy (Wilde). Magnetic, powerful and supremely seductive, Erika is certainly no regular boss, and she soon enlists the eager-to-please Elliot as her sex slave. In way over his head and firmly under Erika's spell, Elliot must somehow also maintain his relationship with girlfriend Minerva (Charli xcx) and his best friend and housemate Apple (Chase Sui Wonders). A sly, darkly funny take on contemporary sexuality from New Queer Cinema legend Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin, The Doom Generation), I Want Your Sex is a welcome reminder of his singular, subversive voice.
