You may have seen Cashback's steamy movie poster: A beautiful girl (Irene Bagach) with the perfect pout and champagne-glass breasts stripped down to her panties. She is standing in the middle of a supermarket aisle, holding a half-filled basket, staring almost directly at you. In the cinema lobbies of Singapore, it's not uncommon to see cinema patrons stopping to stare back at her � and drooling.

Cashback is certainly a sexy film, especially for lesbian and bisexual viewers. The story revolves around an art student (Sean Biggerstaff) who works the late-night shift at a supermarket. Bored with his job, he imagines that he can freeze time, undress the pretty female shoppers and sketch them. As he does so, he ruminates deeply on the nature of beauty, love and art.

Written and directed by Sean Ellis, this is the extended version of his short film which was nominated for the Best Short Film Oscar last year. Cashback is art meets porn, FMR art magazine meets FHM men's magazine, Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees music video meets Girls Gone Wild. The combination is both pleasurable and odd, but you do get a sense of what sort of fantasies festers in a young heterosexual man's mind.

Admittedly, some of these women are stunningly beautiful and voluptuous. So dykes and bis have quite a flesh parade to feast their eyes on. For the gay men, you might wish to note that Sean Biggerstaff (what a hot name!) was the Bambi-eyed Quidditch captain in Harry Potter 1 and 2.

For pure loin-stirring pleasures, Cashback is worth your cash.
