Paradisco 2002 ( gay short film)

Mirror balls, sequins and feathers, pathos - the French manage to get it all into a faaabulous 17 mins. Touching.

Man's Country New York. Gay Bathhouse commercial.

I wonder what medium this was presented in - can't imagine an ad like this today.

Oh! The friend who sent me this has now sent me the original source: Village Voice.

LA DERADE with eng subtitles

Another fine French wine. I could taste the Bordeaux slowly making its way from the glass to my mouth and throat throughout the whole film.

It just took one little photograph to set off a chain of reactions that are sometimes beautiful, sometimes downright scary, sometimes sad and sometimes romantic. Like lots of films about gay teenagers, it's all about the unfortunate consequences of being gay and interminably dour, but unlike many such films this one has got a big cast of fine actors performing a very well-written screenplay. The many scenes are each long enough to develop an idea, and the themes of parental and school support for children in danger are each approached from different angles. Congratulations to the director, Didier Bivel, and especially to the writer, Jérôme Larcher. And the boys aren't too hard on the eye, either.
