High
Today's movie is a sex and amphetamine story.
Not a good basis for an entertaining watch but, nevertheless, very satisfying.
One of four films by a director known as Scud. All break boundaries of one kind or another so that "gay" is incidental.
A successful business man falls for a gay hustler who may not be gay at all.
The hustler has a very messy past and present. The use of amphetamine is just around the corner with his brother who deals.
When there is trouble in the relationship, the hustler smokes. There is no shading over the consequences.
The film is a tragedy. Not even a melodrama.
On top of this sadness is glorious cinematography. Beautiful bodies. Great fantasy sequences. Dreams.
There are four Scud films. I will see them all as they are next in line in the DVD book from whence I am re-playing these gay films.
A 5 out of Netflix5.
