Playing (2010)

art-house eroticapsychological intimacyexperimental edit

Overview

Kendo has done it again with his new masterpiece Playing - an exploration into the dark penetrating world of role-play and secret pleasures that don't necessarily associate with 'normal' sex. Pushing the boundaries as always, The quality of the mind sometimes engages in activities not conventionally viewed as being sexual in nature but enhances the sexual bond between lovers alike. Kendo has edited this film in an avant-garde style that complements the unconventional subject matter."This is my most diverse film to date drawing from many forms of playing from the sex itself to the deep meaningful edit that has made this my best film to date.

Standout Aspects

Editing

Avant-garde cuts that mirror the fractured psychology of role-play itself.

Direction

Kendo treats kink as emotional archaeology, not spectacle.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you want cinema that challenges, not just titillates.·Date Night: Only if you're both ready for genuinely uncomfortable conversations after.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Explicit BDSM and role-play scenarios, psychologically intense rather than purely graphic.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Kendo's background in fashion photography bleeds through—every frame is staged like a confession you're not supposed to hear.

Cultural

Released during the UK 'pornography panic' era, Playing deliberately courts respectability through art-house credentials while remaining commercially explicit.
