It is adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's 1897 play La Ronde.

Premise

Like La Ronde, Sexual Life has an unconventional narrative structure, identified by Charles Ramírez Berg as the "daisy chain plot", in which there is not a single protagonist, but instead one central character links to another.[2]

Reception and awards

Variety found its portrayal of the subject matter to be limited, writing, "this semi-comedy of manners and hormones suffers from being much too neat and tidy, aesthetically and dramatically sweeping aside a lot of the messiness that comes with sex."[1]

The film won the Copper Wing Award for best director at Phoenix Film Festival.
