Synopsis
Set over the course of a day on Hampstead Heath, North London, Scenes of a Sexual Nature looks at the relationships of seven couples. There’'s a gay couple discussing what would happen if they decided to adopt a child; a couple in the process of divorce, talking about how they became an item; a wife who finds her husband staring at the underwear of a teenage girl; two people in their forties, experiencing an awkward blind date picnic; an elderly couple looking back on their love lives and a young man attempting to bed a recently dumped woman. Finally, there'’s a man who has decided that relationships are far too difficult and prefers to use the services of prostitutes. Ed Blum’'s insightful film looks at the complexity of relationships, what they have in common, and the rules that govern them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent British RomCom, 6 Jan 2007
By Richard Hall "Multimedia fan" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
SOASN is fun, touching, intelligent British independent romantic comedy. A series of overlapping meetings on Hampsted Heath one sunny London afternoon touches on the humour and emotion of blind dates, long lost re-unions, divorce and first encounters - from gay and straight, old and young perspectives. With a stellar cast of finest UK talent it is hard to pick a single favourite - Ewan McGregor, Sophie Okonedo and Mark Strong are a tour de force, with Tom Hardy stealing some great moments. Light touch from Ed Blum in his first feature harks back to Ealing Comedies, with the presence of Catherine Tate confirming her impact on the big screen. Rib-hurting laughter guaranteed to break out at some point.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely film. great on a chilled out evening with a glass or 4 of wine, 25 Nov 2007
By Mr. D. Bowman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A really sweet film with a bitter undercurrent. It realistically captures a summy day at Hampstead Heath (in North London) brilliantly which is perfect for the setting in which a great number of couples, all of whom are currently involved in damaged, messed up relationships or simply at the end or past of end of their great loves.

There is much to admire about the shear honesty of each couples stories or discussions, there isn't a dishonest beat anywhere. It's not a particulary synamic film, almost more of a docunmentary with not start or end, but the film comes off better as a relaxed snapshot of each relationship. Each story is shot in loving fashion, with the Heath taking the role of a character in itself and setting the lazy and relaxed atmosphere for the film throughout. It's nice to see a park being used to create a relaxed atmosphere because after all why do we go to the park in the first place.

So if you fancy a relaxed evening with a nice glass of wine and not much to concentrate on but without the falseness of most this is a great one for you to rent or even buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 20 May 2007
By derdle "derdle" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
I rented this on the spur of the moment not really knowing what to expect and i'm so glad I did - it's one of the best films I've ever seen. "Nothing happens" says the reviewer below - actually everything happens but it's cleverly written so that you read between the lines. That's the point of it. It's a snapshot of a series of relationships between couples on Hampstead Heath and it captures beautifully the nuances of love and relationships.
