______________________________________________________________________________________
USA -2003 - 84 minutes:
Director: Sascha Rice
With: Michelle Wolff, Daniele Ferraro, Sally Kirkland
Young Lou’s life is rocked when she falls in love with her best friend,Sassafras, and the two begin a romance. They travel to San Francisco to work as performing artists and come across the strange universe of non monogamous, sadomasochistic lesbianism. They decide to end their monogamy, as long as Lou (Michelle Wolff) plays the role of Captain Daddy, and Sassafras (Danièle Ferraro), the role of Princess, and their lovers also take on different roles. These rules soon start to become more tenuous and their relationship suffers. A variation of the game “Truth or Dare”, played on Sassafras’ birthday, sorts everything out. Adapted from the play Bermuda Triangles: A Non-Monogamy Experiment, by Sarah Brown.Claudio

Well what to say about this film which I have just watched ! It is a German comedy and seems a bit out of dated. It is about a guy who plays soccer on a Straight team but as is thrown off it as they discover that he is gay. He in turn is upset- makes a deal to form a team to play a game opposite the Straights. So he leaves for the big city to find men who are gay and soccer players. He starts a team with the gays and of course has trouble getting the gays to play the games correctly (hum gays can not play as well as straights ?). What happens seems to be a laugh comedy for straight people, oh well see it yourself and decide... Phillip
Italian Mambo With: Luke Kirby, Peter Miller, Paul Sorvino and Ginette Reno:
Based on a theater play called Italian Mambo the movie seems like as the "Greek wedding" with a Italian family and a gay son.
Angelo (Kirby) moves from his
parents home to the his lover´s home, Nino (Miller) who is a
cop and a childhood friend. When Angelo decides to get out of the
closet, Nino dumps him and starts to date a girl because Nino wants
to keep in the closet. Claudio
Alternative review
I like this films a lot and enjoyed every minute of it.
It is the story of Angelo who
has a secret lover called Nino and is a cop.
Coming out in this
type of conservative family is probably very hard to do, so when
Angelo tells his parents he is gay, they take it badly, as one could
probably have thought. This is not a dysfunctional home, in the
traditional sense, but like most families facing this situation, they
can't believe they have produced a son that is "homosexual".
This
light comedy is a funny approach to what happens when the unexpected
occurs. The interplay between the two different cultures in the
Italian-Canadian community setting could not be more true about the
movie tries to deal with. The most important point the film makes is
that Angelo, by coming out, is a much better person than Nino, who
will probably go through life living a double life and being
miserable in both worlds.
This comedy is good for care free
laughs. Director Emile Gaudreault keeps things moving quickly. The
cast is very good. Phillip

This film is the true story of a French diplomat (played by sexy Jeremy Irons). He is on assignment at the embassy in China and meet a Chinese opera star called Song Liling. They start a relationship and if you can believe that the diplomat over the years has never seen the opera star naked then you can also believe that he never knew the girl was a boy ! (played by John Lone) The affair is discovered by the authorities and although the diplomat tries to say he never knew the she was a he no one believes him and he goes to prison - where he also hears and performs drag opera - if it looks like a gay - acts like a gay it probably is a gay. All kidding aside this is a beautiful film based on a Broadway play. Phillip
Song Liling: Under the
robes, beneath everything, it was always me. Tell me you adore me. |

Madame Satã Film inspired by the life of João Francisco dos Santos (1900-1976). A sometime rogue, artist, transvestite, player, chef, convict, adopted father, he spent most of his life in the streets of bohemian Rio de Janeiro. The story takes place in the Lapa neighborhood, in 1932, when João Francisco’s dream – to be a stage star – becomes a reality. The film portrays his daily life, and that of his circle of friends, focusing on a crucial moment in his trajectory; the moment that precedes the creation of the myth of Madame Satã, a name taken from a Cecil B. De Mille 1930 movie, with which João has fallen in love. This film was selected for the UN CERTAIN REGARD program at the Cannes Festival in 2002.

Madame Sousatzka
USA:
1988: Gay Character
With: Shirley MacLaine and Lee Monaque:
This film is listed for two reasons, the first is that there is a very well written secondary character in this film. It is a very short role about an older man who turns to Mme Sousatzka for help after he is gay bashed and she helps him. The second reason is that Shirley MacLaine is very good in this film as Mme Sousatzka who is a piano teacher. So see the film for both of these reasons. Phillip

The film centers on a man
called Harry and opens up with him at a gay bar filled with handsome
men. There is only one problem he has a large facial birthmark which is
in the form of a map of Madagascar (hum... you have to have been good
at school to know that ) anyway he is rejected by everyone and even
tried to Dark room (which appears to have too much light ) and he get
rejected there, in a hot scene but as the song goes "Love will always
find you - no matter where you hide" well one day he is at the beach
and saves an older man from drowning. This man has tattoos so he
doesn't seem to mind the birth mark. What develops between the two
seems to be real love, even thought the older man has a few quirks !
This is a must see film ! Phillip |

The USA film critic Raymond Murray hailed this film as "The Gayest non-Gay film ever made!" Don't be fooled it is not a gay story, it is a film about a very heterosexual King George III but has performances / work on the film with all the best of the gays in the film industry so it is certainly worth a look! Among the gay cast are Rupert Everett, Nigel Hawthorne, Nicholas Hytner (the director) and Alan Bennett (the film's writer). Don't worry I am not outing anyone the above mentioned are openly gay men.

based on the Night of the Living Dead and is a quite funny task off
of that famous horror film- The song Guilty by Barbra Streisand is
featured as music in this film. Phillip
Note: at the end of the film a
list of London's best toilettes are listed but if you are into that -
then I would suggest you get a newer gay guide as this was filmed in

This is the story of a Zack who is married to Claire. They seem to be a happily married professional couple since 8 years. Then the marriage goes on the rocks when Zack meets Bart who is a novelist and very handsome. Zack´s repressed homosexuality comes to the surface as he discovers his feeling for Bart. Bart tries to keep cool, aloof and tries to stay out of love as he has done most of his life. The wife finds out about the relationship and to see how this triangle comes out and if there is a Hollywood "happy end" you will have to first see this film. Note: This subject was very bold when it came out but now seems to have lost it's boldness but the story is still a very beautiful filmed love story and is certainly one of the films which set the foundation for toady's better films and when I re-watched this film I now know why my mother told me to get a Doctor for a lover ;-) he is soooo cute !! Also the script for this Main Stream Film was written by Gay writer Barry Sandler. Phillip |

Man
I love, the
(original French original title:
l’Homme qui j’aime)
France: 1997
Director: Stephane
Giusti
With: Jean-Michel Portal and Marcial Di Fonzo Bo
I
love the French! This made-for-TV movie is such a charmer. Lucas and
Martin are janitors at the local Aqua-world and boy are they in
love!? Yes, they are. Sadly, Martin is saddled with a girlfriend and
has a lot of explaining to do. Lucas, meanwhile, has a secret –
a very big one.
If you don’t enjoy this love story, you
probably hate movies in general. The balance between comedy and
pathos is just right. Wait till you see Lucas’mother. Isn’t
she just gorgeous? I gave this my vote in the “Audience choice”
ballot at the Oslo g/l-film festival 2003. I said it – now go
see it!
Yngvar
Alternative Review:
Man I Love, ThePool boy Martin has made no secret of his crush on attractive, but straight lifeguard Lucas. Martin’s attraction is so compelling that’s it's not long before Lucas is responding. However, when he learns that Martin has AIDS, his feeling of fear and caring confuse him. Despite his feelings, he commits himself and takes on the role as Martin's caregiver.

Man is a woman
(original French original title:

France: 1998
Director:
Jean-Jacques Zilbermann
With: Antoine de Caunes and Elsa
Zylberstein
Simon is a gay, Jewish musician who can’t
get a boyfriend. His mother urges him to find a girl and his
homophobic uncle promises him a legacy of 10 million francs if he
marries and has children. Simon has a crush on his straight cousin as
well.So what’s a man to do? Well – not what Simon is
doing, I hope. Simon (played by cutie de Caunes from Eurotrash) makes
all the wrong choices and I got well and truly pissed at him during
the course of this movie. I dare you to like this guy. Gay audiences
will probably be turned off by the Jewish storyline and vice-versa.
The movie is very well directed and beautifully acted, but the story
sucks big time. I felt insulted as a gay man. Re-run the Wedding
banquet or la Cage aux Follies 2 and forget this one.

Rather dumb film about a mannequin which come to life but within this film is Mr. Hollywood (played Meshach Taylor) who is definitely a swishy window dresser.

What you have never heard of a bus driver in Dublin who loves above all Oscar Wilde well here he is ! and he decided to do something about it so he decided to do a production of Salome in a church (where else ??). He first appears to have a crush on a young man called Bobby (he calls him Bosey - which was Oscar Wilde´s lovers name) but later in the movie he is after an older woman called Adele, so I guess that makes him either a bisexual or a person who can't decide what he wants. The story in set in the 1960´s so I guess we can forgive him for not making the right partner decision ! Phillip |

This is the story of a gay man ( Dirk Shafer) who by chance is a Playgirl model appearing in their magazine. To his shock he becomes the Playgirl's 1992 Man of the Year which causes chaos in his and his lovers life. He has to pretend to be straight and if you believe him you have to believe that he wanted to tell everyone he was gay but of course this did not happen and he got exposed as a gay man. The films is put together fast and on a small level easy to watch but not a classic and never will be one but if you like to look at a hunky model - here's your chance Phillip _________________________________________________________________________________________ |

I know you can't imagine a transvestite film out of Serbia - well I couldn't also but I have seen this film and although it is not a work of art, it has a good story about a ballsy transvestite who down under all the "bad" make-up - tough talk really has a heat of gold! It shows how the transvestite trys to create his gay world without the glitz and glamor of the richer cities. This is a must for gay to see how their counter parts live in Serbia. Phillip |

MERRY
CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE I normally do not watch films about war but I had to watch this film as there is a homosexual relationship between the Japanese soldier and his English captive (played by David Bowie). The two seem to have a very strange relationship and the Japanese soldier is more than taken by Bowie´s character. There are many hints at these feeling but the big scene comes when Bowie´s character stops the leader from killing an English soldier by hugging and kissing him in front of all his soldiers exposing the feelings he feels. You really should see the film as it is more about feelings than about sex or sexuality. Bowie is very good and the rest of the cast too ! Phillip
