Can you fu*k to an irregular beat? Michael Portnoy’s PROGRESSIVE TOUCH – winner of the Best Film award at the Berlin Porn Film Festival – depicts three futuristic, absurdist love scenes in which the goal is to "improve" sex by complicating its rhythm and choreography. Sex as dance as comedy. Enacted by three real-life couples, the dancers' every explicit move is synchronized to the propulsive, unpredictable score which borrows elements from progressive rock, trap, and math metal.
