By Alex Ritman. The film, premiering in the Un Certain Regard competition at Cannes , follows three British teenage girls out for the summer holiday of a lifetime in Malia, the Greek resort and a party town notorious for its debauched nightlife especially with young Brits. Their vacation plans are relatively simple: to party, get wasted and hook up.
The wild partying scenes — actually shot in Malia but out of season, so the clubs were mostly filled with local Greek extras, all cast to look like young Brits — will likely divide audiences between those who want to be there with them having spirits poured down their throats and those who would prefer to be literally anywhere else.
Some of the scenes in How to Have Sex came from recalling those memories and establishing if they did, in fact, occur including one of the most eye-opening scenes in which two Brits compete to be given a blowjob onstage in front of hundreds of drunken, cheering partygoers. When it eventually arrives, the story takes a darker turn, one dealing with sexual consent and exactly what that means. Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day.
