''It's like Woody Allen with money shots,'' says John Cameron Mitchell, relating how one Cannes-goer described his follow-up to 2001's Hedwig and the Angry Inch. His sure-to-be-controversial post-9/11 New York relationship dramedy — which will skip the MPAA and be released unrated — features actors engaging in real sex, homo-, hetero-, and solo, on screen. ''I wanted to make a film that examines sex and love but didn't censor itself,'' says Mitchell. ''Every other art form — photography, literature, theater — has used real sex,'' he notes. ''Why not a commercially accessible, hopefully deeply felt comedy?''
