FARM BOYS
Today's gay film is the German
Stadt Land Fluss / Harvest (2011)
This is one of a number of innovative, deeply imagined gay films now being produced in both Europe and the United States.
This starts as an almost documentary look at a teaching farm in Germany where apprentices work side by side with professional farmers to raise, in this case, cattle and carrots.
The two c's.
The apprentices are in a Program which gives them a degree which is actually required for working full time in a farm and includes management and such skills as scheduling, accounting and report writing.
Among the class are two young men (the only professional actors) who feel attracted towards one another. Interwoven in the farming narrative, we see the attraction develop to maturity and real love.
There is not a lot of sex in this film but it is extremely sexy. There is nothing hotter than to watch the energy of two people who are attracted to one another but not ready to make the moves or, once having made a move, taken the situation to the next step.
I have never seen a film like this one, let alone with a gay theme.
Very very good. I am buying the disc. The two guys are great. Not "lookers" but very worth looking at.
That makes it a 5 out of Netflix5.
