“Wetlands” is no longer a boring word used primarily by environmentalists. It’s the title of a smutty movie premiering at the Sundance film festival.
“Perhaps the most sexually explicit and audacious film to hit Sundance this year, Wetlands is a German-language coming-of-age drama about a young woman with an unhealthy and fetishistic obsession with certain body parts (and bodily fluids),” according to The Hollywood Reporter, “mostly as a result of her reaction to her parents’ divorce.” The film stars Swiss newcomer Carla Juri. Warning: graphic plot details follow.
