Jedan odličan primjer tipičnog momka 20-tih godina prikazan je u ovom Njemačkom kratkom filmu!

Želja za provodom i avanturama nije nikome nepoznata, zar ne!  Ono što bi ipak trebali znati da za svako naše ponašanje postoji vrijeme i godine u kojima nam priliči da uradimo ponešto što u svakodnevnom životu sebi ipak ne bi dopustili!  Ako pri tome ne povrijedimo voljenu osobu onda je to prava stvar!

 

English:

New to Berlin, shy Boris is soon to find love in the arms of Till, only their relationship is far from the romantic bliss that he had envisaged, given Till is a boy who just can't say no - and we all know to what.

Described by close friend Giselle as a puppy, Till is more like a dog in heat, promiscuous by nature, whether getting it on with a handsome hunk at the local swimming pool or later with a stranger at a nightclub. Only that encounter was meant to be a loving embrace between the two boys, that is before two become three thanks to Mr Unknown forcing himself upon them, or to be more precise upon Till, given Boris promptly exited stage left leaving the two to merge as one. As breakfast time approaches courtesy of Giselle, the question beckons will their eggs, like their relationship, be scrambled in the morning after the night before?

Raising the question of where true love lies, this bittersweet short plays like an enticing cinematic shot of Queer As Folk. To that end, Tobias Schenke as Till is every inch the German outing of Stuart; ready for some man candy at any given opportunity, an act that is nicely countered by Nico Link's tender portrayal of Boris who like QAF's Vince carries a torch, only to see it smouldering in the background of Till's seemingly endless desire for manflesh. Well-shot and acted throughout, writer and director Alexander Pfeuffer has crafted a tale that whilst charting the all too familiar ground of love and commitment and the opposing view some boys hold on such, is guaranteed to entertain nonetheless, filled as it is with tender moments of gay love, homoerotic encounters and the certain knowledge that somehow these teens will work things out.

Last Address (2010)

The list of New York artists who died of AIDS over the last 30 years is countless, and the loss immeasurable.
Last Address uses images of the exteriors of the houses, apartment buildings, and lofts where these and others were living at the time of their deaths to mark the disappearance of a generation. The film is a remembrance of that loss, as well as an evocation of the continued presence of these artists work in our lives and culture.

Noćas sam se slatko ismijao gledajući ovaj film prepun tipičnog italijanskog humora, a opet nekako životan. Režiser Ferzan Özpetek nam kroz jednu priču dočarava kako se jedna tradicionalna provincijska porodica nosi sa činjenicom da im je sin homoseksualac! U ovom slučaju ne jedan nego dva sina! Uz nekoliko karakterističnih likova povjerenih izvrsnim glumcima dva sta će vam proteći vrlo brzo. 
Tomas, student i pisac koji živi u Rimu odluči da ode na Siciliju i svojoj porodici saopšti da je gay! Ponosan otac dva sina na čelu trpeze, pomalo dezorjentisana majka, pijana tetka, baka, dvije nezadovoljne sluškinje i naravno dva stasita sina, svi za stolom večeravaju i pričaju!I taman kada Tomas odluči da im saopšti što je naumio, stariji brat se javlja za riječ i kaže: Odlučio sam da vam otkrijem ono što krijem čitav život, Ja sam Gay!

Kada otac iznenada dobije infarkt ( naravno ne onaj koban) Tomas u trebu zaboravi šta je htio reći!

Možete li zamisliti sebe u sličnoj situaciji? Jedan prijatelj mi je ispričao kako se taman spremao da najboljoj prijateljici saopšti da je gay kad ga je ona prekinula i rekla : Ja sam lezbejka!

A ja sam jednoj curi sa kojom sam imao tu noć imao seks, nakon što je počela da mašta kako će mo do kraja života živjeti srećno da bi prekinuo tu njenu bajku rekao: Ja sam peder! Nakon kratkog šoka je rekla: Pa kakav je to peder koji je tako dobar u seksu sa ženama? Naravno ponosno sam odgovorio: Takav peder stoji pred tobom! Mislim da ni dan danas ne vjeruje u to što sam joj rekao i da je sve bila samo fora da bih je otkačio!

Ako slučajno čita ovaj blog znaće ko ga piše!:))

Inače Ferzan Ozpetek nam je već poznat po sjajnim filmovima Saturno Contro (2007), Hamam ( 1997) i Le Fate Ignoranti (2001)

 

Ferzan Ozpetek’s Loose Cannons is a pretty typical Italian tale of dynastic change. Tommaso (Riccardo Scamarchio) is an aspiring writer who returns from Rome to his provincial southern hometown, where his father is planning to hand the family pasta factory to him and brother Antonio (Alessandro Preziosi).

Tommaso plans a dramatic confession that he’s gay to escape such drudgery, but is beaten to the punch by his equally secretly gay brother. One paternal heart attack later, family ties are snapping.

Ozpetek takes these men and women as they are, revealing deep emotions in broad strokes. Everyone here is a disappointed misfit, not just the loose cannons in the clan.

But where a Fellini would also include hard barbs of human nature at its worst, Ozpetek’s deep belief in family and friends sees these bonds soften the conflict. He has the all-embracing, crowd-pleasing virtues of a daytime soap. But he has a bigger, truer heart.
