Light hearted documentary about the serious subject of men who consider plastic surgery for penis enlargement.
Filmmaker Lawrence Barraclough would like you to talk about your penis,
and maybe share a photo or two. He also scored a prestigious Foundry
Gallery in London showing of all the collected photos sent to him since
his "My Penis and I" aired for BBC Three two years ago.
It's perhaps not the most subtle approach to breaking down one of
the last remaining taboos of male culture (sorry for the obvious
oxymoron) - to wander up and down the streets of London with "I want to
talk about penises" on your back - and neither was it the most
productive, but you have to give Lawrence Barraclough full marks for
trying. The celebrated owner of a shorter-than-average penis (as
revealed when he had a plaster cast of it made during his last
dick-related documentary My Penis And I) will clearly stop at nothing
to persuade men to talk about that most sensitive of subjects - their
tackle.
So did Barraclough succeed? Why is penis size such a universally
avoided subject whenever more than one man is gathered together pretty
much anywhere you can think of? And is this review just an excuse for
me to type the word 'penis' as many times as possible?
