Plans that go awry
Today is an old favorite gay film.
Friends get involved with one another because one of the guys wants to sew jealousy in his girlfriend's heart. That the "sham" is another guy seems to be less the issue than that the two guys quickly fall in love with one another. A long period of dancing around the issue ensues.
The plan B part is that if his relationship with the girl doesn't work out he will, apparently, to find another one. Which he does. Little expecting that it will be with another guy.
I love watching this film because it is so realistic. The men's dance around each other is drawn out and delicious.
The people in this are great. I own all of Berger's films and love to see them over and over. Worth seeing again even if I know what the payoff is. The people in the film don't know and surprise each other each time! It is great to watch the process.
I am seeing all of Berger's films again. So it is a Berger-fest!
A 5 out of Netflix5.
