New Showbiz Analysis

Voulez-vous coucher avec God? aggressively deconstructs Western religious hegemony. By stripping the divine of its traditional grandeur and placing it in a vulgar, seedy setting, the film mocks established spiritual hierarchies. The production uses a camp aesthetic and counterculture casting to challenge mainstream norms. It replaces the grandeur of the afterlife with a gritty, absurdist reality that favors moral relativism over singular religious authority. While the film excels at subverting institutional power and traditional iconography, it lacks specific information regarding disability representation.

Official Synopsis

Shot primarily in a seedy bathroom, it's gross, outrageously blasphemous, trippy, campy and hilarious, esp. if seen very, very high. Sometime Village Fug Tuli Kupferberg plays a vulgar NY Jewish G*d who never gets out of the tub. The story line is the debate in an ecumenical trailer trash Heaven during Abraham's biblical trial of faith over the sacrifice of his son Isaac.
