War story

Director: John Baumgartner
USA: 2001: 28 Mins.

Imagine Charlie Chaplin making a gay love story, and this would be it. War story is made to look exactly like a silent comedy, complete with tinkly piano music and scratches on the celluloid. It's so authentic you're almost fooled into thinking it was made back in 1916.

The plot: Metly Morville, a plucky, but penniless lad gets a job as a waiter in the local diner. There he meets and falls in love with Ronnie, a handsome young soldier going off to fight in the Great War. This charming little story is surrounded by the usual Chaplin, Mack Sennett crowd: The fat man with the ugly mustache, the temperamental boss, the innocent young girl, the stupid old dame and the sneaky thief. There is slapstick, pratfalls, pie-throwing, clowning and sight gags. Great fun.This is how comedy was made 85 years ago, except there were no gay lovers in them.

John Baumgartner has done something quite new in an old style, and I hope he'll be making more of this. Such a sweet movie!

Westler: East of the Wall
(AKA: Westler)

Director: Wieland Speck
Germany: 1986: 94 Mins: Gay: Drama

I love this film ! It is the story of a West Berlin boy who visits East Berlin for a day and meets and falls in love with an East Berlin boy called Westler. The feeling is mutual and the two become "day trip lovers", with the West German boy taking the trip over the border once too much and the East German border guards get suspicious and give the youth a rough time. This film gives you the feeling involved in this relationship, the difference in the everyday lives of the two, the difference in West German and the East German apartments and basically the different way the two show their love. We know that the love is doomed unless the East German boy get out of the East and somehow gets to the West and freedom. This film is simply a great film ! and has great performances by the two main actors! It also gives a cry out for freedom in all the places where there is none by showing how lovers can be separated by stupid rules of immigration - which in the end stop lovers from living their lives together.

When love is gay

Director: Laurent Gagliardi
Canada: 1995: gay documentary:
With: Dick Fontaine as the The yo-yang, Julien Garneau-Proulx as the gay sorcerer, Rathon Juki asYvan DesCaves and Jingo le Dingo

Several Canadian gay men are interviewed about the difficulties of "coming out" in Canadian society. There are also scenes depicting gay saunas, clubbing and gay sex.
A friend of mine claimed she fell asleep during this, and yeah, it's all a bit long-winded. Most of this stuff is a lesson in tolerance for heterosexuals rather than something to get excited about. On the other hand....the gay sex scenes......well, they are certainly intimate. Lots of nudity and very nice bodies too. These shots look like they've been edited in from a softcore-porn movie! It only lasts 48 Mins though.
Info: This video was released by the National Film Board of Canada. That means it's supposed to be serious business.

Then enters a woman called Petra and they sleep together but Camille is not at all sure of her feelings for Petra and to make matters worse Martin find out about Petra.

Note: a very confused film with lots of soul searching dialog but at the same time very romantic between the two women.

When The Cats Away

Director: Cédric Klapish
With: Garance Clavel as Chloé and Olivier Py as Michel:

This is a surprise film for me, I though it was going to be a little comedy but in effect it turned out to be a film which I liked very much. Chloé, is a young woman who lives to a gay man called Michel. Chloé loses her cat and goes searching though out the Paris neighborhood that she lives in. Surprisingly everyone she meets there wants to help her and she makes new friends also but Michel has no time to help her as is looking for a new live-in boyfriend. Watch the film and find out if Chloé gets her cat and if Michel gets his man.

When The Party Is Over

Director: Matthew Irmas
USA: 1992: 115 Mins: Gay Character / Drama
With: Kris Kamm as Banks, Rae Dawn, Sandra Bullock:

It is hard to believe this is a film from the 1990´s. The story is about roommates who are all around 20 or so and trying to come to terms with their lives and loves in LA. All the straight people in this film have love and lovers in their lives but not Banks (the handsome and smart gay guy) He is there alone and with people calling him "Tinker bell" and worse things (which I will not take the time to mention here). Why he hasn't a lover or at least a one-nighter is a mystery to me. Were they trying to go back to a film of the 50´s & 60´s where there was a gay man in each film to talk about and make fun of. If there is ever a sequel please give the poor guy a lover - then the others can make double fun of the two of them. Not one of my favourite films !

Where the Sun Beats Down

Portugal: 1989: Gay: Drama:

Nuno is from a well to do family and has lived in the city but he decides to return home to his sister's farm. What happens is that Nuno enters into a relationship with a working class guy called Alberto. This stirs up trouble due to the differences in their social status and with Nuno´s snobby family. This is a good film to watch for all of us who come from countries where is there no real social class system. The thought of a young socially rich guy falling for a lower class poor guy always seems so romantic to me but I guess in real life it only brings problems!

Well lets go back to flower power and politics. This is about a 15 year old boy called Max Frost. The world is turned upside down by flower power (and I imagine some strange drugs) and Max is elected as President of the USA. His chief adviser and best friend is Billy Cage who is very hip and to top it all a gay! A little dated but none the less fun to see a gay as the top adviser to the President.

Wolves Of Kromer

Director: Will Gould
UK: 1999: 82 Mins
With: Lee Williams and James Layton:

Gabs and Seth are wolves who are in love and certainly different than the others, so they try to keep out of sight from the population of the town, but people know they are out there and do not like them. They make up a plot to create trouble for the wolves and finally get rid of them. The wolves are of course a metaphor for gays. At first this film is strange but as you get into it – you see it is quite interesting and certainly worth a see! Oh by the way Boy George does the narration.

Alternative review:
In a small village there were once a couple of young beasts that fell in love with one another. However, as in all macabre love stories, there is a mob that has been blinded by the emotional and moral confusion that has been created by an evil force. The question is whether the beasts will be able to live their life and love each other, or if they will be murdered in the end. Narrated by Boy George, this fabulous modern-day fairy is about lust, greed and sexuality.

With: Alan Bates as Rupert and Oliver Reed as Jerold:

This filming of D.H. Lawrence's book which has four friends in it - two of who are men. They are Jerold and Rupert. Rupert is what we would call a Bisexual - he can not limit his love to just a woman but needs a man too and he looks to Jerold for this but the feelings are not returned. There is one famous scene where the two men wrestle nude and both seem to get off on this. There is (of course) a tragic end to this story.

Women in Revolt

Director: Paul Morrissey
USA: 1971: 80 Mins: Transvestite main characters
Starring: Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn:

These were the Warhol Transvestite Super Stars and this film features them at their worst / best. The dialog rambles on and the film is of poor quality (typical of Warhol / Morrissey´s underground film work). Go back in time and see what all the fuss was about !

Wonderland
(AKA The Fruit Machine)

Director: Philip Saville
UK: 1988: 103 Mins: Gay: Drama / Comedy
With: Emile Charles and Tony Forsyth

This is the story of two young lower class gay boys who decided to run away from it all, but in doing so they witness a paid murder and see the guy doing his job this time with a sword. They run as fast as they can to not be killed themselves and end up in a great gay bar called "The Wonderland". One of the boys enters a dance contest and wins by taking most of his clothes off but the fun ends as the killer is again after them. They then hook up with a closeted opera star and are taking away to the coast where they think they are safe. One of the boys is used by the opera star for his sexual fun and the other one seems to want to be used by him (but is not). Anyway the film then takes a turn in another direction so see this sometimes funny and sometime sad but really interesting film. You'll be happy you watched it as it is very well filmed and the boys are fun to watch!

Wounded Man, The
(Original title: L'Homme Blesse)

Director: Patrice Chereau
France: 1985: 90 Mins: Gay Drama

I guess this teenage boy parents never told him not to go to train stations and only to use the toilet at home, since he does just that and gets a heavy kiss from an attacker of another man. This must have been some kiss as he becomes obsessed with this man and enters into a "sort of relationship" with this slightly crazy hustler. The relationship is doomed from the beginning but like all love affairs - the boy does not know that this relationship will be his down fall !
Note: this film caused a big stir by wining the French Cesar for Best Direction.
