LOVE
Today's gay film was
A Home at the End of the World (2004)
based on the book by Michael Cunningham and starring Colin Farrell.
Somehow this film eluded me or I eluded it.
It is a wonderful tale about lost love and found love.
It is less a gay film (there is a gay and a bisexual man in a three way relationship), than a film about sexuality and family. Brotherly love. Very big. Having a child love. All of it. And finding a place and way of expressing it.
The Farrell character is shown at three ages. All actors are phenomenal and quite amazingly alike.
The film also has Robin Wright Penn, Dallas Roberts and Sissy Spacek. Great.
This is a fiver out of Netflix5. You don't want to know much about it than that. Unique and wholly satisfying, this film delivers.
