S.
Sadak 
(English meaning Road)
Director: Mahesh Bhatt
India : 1991 :
With: Sadashiv Amrapurkar as Maharani; Sanjay Dutt as Ravi; Pooja Bhatt as Pooja; Deepak Tijori as Gotya; Chanda as Neelima Azim; Avtar Gill as Salim Bhai; Pankaj Dheer as Inspector Irani
This movie is about a young man's fight against society to get his girlfriend out of a brothel and spend his life with her.
Ravi (Sanjay Dutt) is a taxi driver. One day he goes to a brothel with his best friend Gotya (Deepak Tijori) to meet his fiancée Chanda (Neelima) and there Ravi sees a young prostitute Pooja (Pooja Bhatt) who was sold to the brothel's owner by her uncle - the brothel's owner is a transvestite/Hijra/eunuch named Maharani (Sadashiv Amrapurkar). He falls in love with her and offers money to Maharani to free her. Maharani refuses. Ravi and Goyta attack Maharani with a knife and run away with Pooja and Chanda. Soon after, Gotya and Chanda are killed by Maharani's men, but Ravi and Pooja escape although Pooja is captured again later. Eventually Ravi takes revenge from Maharani and frees Pooja from the brothel.
The main point of this movie is to portray the brothel owner as a cruel, abnormal and insensitive person, which they normally are. The fact that he is an eunuch is incidental.
Watch this movie for typical Bollywood kind of drama and melodious songs. Manish

This is Pasolini's last film (too bad it got made !) and is about a group of Fascists in World War II who were so powerful that they were able to use young people for horrible S/M sex games which sometime ended in murder. A horrible film to watch ! but a friend of mine told me that I must tell you this is a very important picture none-the-less ! so see it and decide for yourselves.... Phillip |

Seahorses
Germany
/ Iran/ Norway 2007
Director:
Rahman Milani
With:
Rahman Milani, Martin Niedermair:
Low budget, but heartfelt and touching little film about a gay couple with a small daughter, living in Berlin. The little girl feels left out, because she has two fathers and can’t take part in everything her friends do. Lacking female role models, she rebels against her fathers. The ending sends out a hope that the family may become united and happy after all!
Rahman Milani is a promising Norwegian/ Iranian director. He has been a very active member of “Skeive filmer”, an excellent gay film-festival in Oslo, for several years and is himself a great role model for gay Asian immigrants in my country. Yngvar

This story is the filming of the live of St. Sebastian by Derek Jarman (of course in his style) and the only film which I know which is filmed in Latin. It traces the life of Sebastian to the outer part of the Roman Empire. We find Sebastian being lusted after by his commanding officer which in turn bring about his murder ! (ops told you the end but you knew it anyway right ? Phillip |

This is a feel good movie
about an 18 year old boy, Sebastian, coming out to his parents and
friends. A very important issue, for sure, but this film just doesn't
cut it as drama. The main reason: Sebastian is a very unbelievable
character, looking like he's 15, behaving like he's 12, and talking
like he's 21. Still, the lead, Hampus Björk, is tremendously cute,
which must count for something? The director, Svend Wam, has made
several interesting movies, almost all of them feature gay and bisexual
characters. Yngvar |

1999: 101 Minutes Gay/ bisexual drama
With: Javier Bardem, Jordi
Mollŕ, and Ariadna Gil
Armando is married to Elena.
Armandos secret lover is Diego. Neither of his sexual partners know
about the other, but of course, it all comes out. What will Armando
do? Will he divorce Elena or reject Diego? Or will they both dump
him?
This starts off as a steamy love triangle with extremely
good-looking leading actors. I mean it - they are just gorgeous. And
they can act, Gil in particular is stunning.What an actress! It gets
a bit mannered and soap-operatic towards the end, but we won't get
into that. The sex and the faces are great, so if that's that you
enjoy - get hold of this.Yngvar

Germany: 2001: 100 mins:
With: Mads Mikkelsen as Jacob, Troels Lyby as Jřrgen, Charlotte Munck as Caroline, Jesper Lohmann as Tom, Oskar Walsře as Oskar, Peter Frödin as Frederik, Nikolaj Steen as Mads, Ditte Grĺbřl as Inge and others
Hum what to say about this film ? It has a different style as it is made in Denmark. It is the story of two gay lovers who at a birthday party decide to marry but then all of a sudden Jacob sees the woman who is with his brother in-law and feels something for her. (I must say at this point the two lovers Jacob and Jřrgen have zero chemistery and one can not understand why they are together especially since the actor playing Jacob (even though his is nto bad to look at) plays the entire film as i he is bored and wants to get it over no matter if he is with a girl or guy..
The story is about boy has boy meets girl and has boy & girl and then boy lover finds out and it gets rough. Although end of the story made up for a lot. It is said to be a romantic comedy but I guess Denmark has a different type of humor than I am used to..
Although I find it hard to believe that a gay man who is in a relationship with another gay man can become totally crazy over a girl but I guess it happens. When you have a early night in and do not have to go out – have a peek! Phillip

Hum... this film is especially strange to people who are not into S/M. The camera work tries to take us through the lives of men who claim to be straight but need violence to have sex with other men. The film is violent and even though most of the men in it are quite attractive it is not a film I enjoyed. I watched it till the end but it is really not my thing. I must admit one thing I did not know what was going to happen throughout the entire film. So decide for yourself if this violent S/M film is for you ( i do not doubt that there are some of our readers who will enjoy this type of film,,).. Phillip

USA 2004:Animated feature film Director: Andrew Adamson:
There’s a transvestite working as a barkeep in the pub where Shrek, Donkey and Puss go to sulk. The script describes him as “the ugly stepsister”, but as he is voiced by a man, (in USA, Larry King) it’s easy to figure out it’s a cross dresser!
The barkeeper thinks Prince Charming has the face of an angel, which is also a hoot, since he is voiced (in the original) by the openly gay actor Rupert Everett. What would Walt Disney have made of all this “perversity” in a family movie, eh!! Yngvar
