HOWDIDIT?
Today's gay film was the French/Canadian
Amnesia: The James Brighton Enigma (2005)
We have who done its, why did its?. This is a how did it happen.
A man finds himself naked in an alley in Montreal and all he remembers is that he is gay.
Not his name, how this happened, anything.
This is a great little movie. Tight as a tic and, they say, not a hundred percent "how" but with a reasonable hypothesis built on some facts and good conjecture.
I was not sure that this could happen to a gay man only but then realized that the stuff that adds up to the result is very gay.
This is one of those excellent Quebecois productions that never make it out of the small box they work in. Too bad because they are often wonderful movies.
This is one.
I would not mind seeing it again. But maybe knowing the answer to the riddle would take some of the charge out of it.
A 4 out of Netflix5 but then more a 3 if it is spoiled knowing the "trick".
