COVERING ALL THE BASES
Today's gay film was
Two things. This film shows what a bland, watered down, unimaginative business movies have become.
It will rock your sox.
Inventive, transgressive, awesome.
Man, Fellini took risks.
And it is probably not really a gay film per se as it is a comprehensive look at so many variations on sexual preference that you cannot keep count. It has to be see to be believed.
Why did I see it? Because you can always see Fellini and profit. But also, the two young men who are featured throughout are in a relationship with each other and that frames their experiences together and apart for the entire film.
It is a buddy movie and a road movie.
Cornucopia.
Visual feast.
I had forgotten the inventiveness of the Fellini scenery and characters.
Great.
Granted there are a few places where it wanders and I actually nodded off a bit but then that would quickly be interrupted with some really grotesquely funny change or, I would just look around and see the rich and abundant variety going on in any scene.
It is a 5 out of Netflix5 for sure.
