This may be old news, but it's the first I've heard of it:

Quote:
In early 2004, [Sook-Yin Lee] became the centre of controversy when the CBC threatened to fire her for taking a role in John Cameron Mitchell's sexually explicit film Shortbus, in which she performs unsimulated intercourse and masturbation on screen. When their position proved unpopular with the public[2], and celebrities such as director Francis Ford Coppola, R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and artist and musician Yoko Ono rallied behind her, the CBC backed down.

I was hoping for Rebecca Rankin, damnit.

I guess we are showing our respective ages.

The odds of seeing this movie on Korean screens are pretty much nil.

PS. Monica Deol was my favorite.

I can't believe Jinju posted on this without mentioning the TF...
The one and only time it's been appropriate to do so.

Oh it would have been better if it was Rachel Perry. She was hot when she was a VJ and has only gotten hotter.

She's naked all over the place. She did a small movie before her Much Music gig that had a good bit o' nakedness in it. She needs to be fired anyway, she sucks as bad now as she did when she was on MM.

Or geez who was that nice looking Indian woman who used to be all over CITY TV? I think she entered an arranged marriage and quit.

I really used to hate the fat stupid sports guy with the Elmer Fudd voice. On Breakfast TV he would always rip off Letterman jokes and he thought he was the height if wit.

She can't be Korean though, as she identifies as bisexual:

Lee has also identified as bisexual.

UNsimulated sex though, for a non-pron film is pretty risque...

Sook-Yin Lee plays a sex therapist who's never had an orgasm, a pat predicament made believable by her winning performance. Her developing relationship with depressive dominatrix Lindsay Beamish is part patient-therapist, but mostly dangerously undefined.

I think I'll try to catch this film though Smile
