Quick Answer

What is Confessions of a Sex Maniac about?

Confessions of a Sex Maniac is a 1974 United Kingdom drama film directed by Alan Birkinshaw about a young architect who decides to model a new building after the perfect breast and sets out to find the ideal muse.

Programmer's Pick

Seldom has city planning been this single-mindedly anatomical—or this nakedly motivated. Alan Birkinshaw’s irreverent drama is a cheeky snapshot of ‘70s British erotica, where architectural inspiration comes from a determined, if slightly inebriated, quest for the ideal bust.

Overview

When renowned architect Sir Bernard Storm heads off on a lecture tour, he leaves his latest commission—a leisure center in Australia—in the hands of his assistant, Henry, and their ever-capable secretary, Hilary. Struggling for inspiration and emboldened by a drunken epiphany, Henry devises a decidedly unconventional concept: design the new building in the shape of a woman’s breast. What follows is his unconventional and risqué search throughout London for the perfect female form to serve as his muse. With its cheeky premise, the film leans into its erotic sensibilities and British sensibility, promising plenty of nudity, awkward encounters, and comic misadventures as architecture and anatomy collide.
