Overview

World-famous photographer Harrison Marks may seem to have an enviable job photographing nude women, but the opening of The Nine Ages of Nakedness reveals that his life is far from a fantasy. After a series of mishaps involving clumsy models, irate boyfriends, and slapstick chaos, Marks seeks help from a Harley Street psychoanalyst. He shares how his family's unlucky encounters with naked beauties have caused chaos for generations, setting the stage for a playful, cheeky, and distinctly British sex comedy that gleefully sends up both history and the male gaze. Expect comic vignettes, tongue-in-cheek nudity, and a parade of historical eras filtered through a bawdy lens.
