Four in one
The only way a DVD guy can see shorter films is to get an anthology.
Today, four films about gay men.
Cuatro Lunas / Four Moons (2014)
All Mexican films by one director, Sergio Tovar Velarde.
As far as I can tell, they are not intertwined although one or two characters seemed to slip over the borders of one film to another. Otherwise, they are quite different views of the process of coming out. Even with a veteran gay who finds that the way he is going needs to be revised. Or start over.
And, all in all, I counted as many as 8 men who are involved. Some because there are couples but others because they seem incidental then become major players.
It is all very interesting and worth serious attention. There is no fluff here. All up to a 5 out of Netflix5 if the had to stand on their own. Well, maybe a 4.
