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.
Verano o Los defectos de Andrés (2006)
Director: Jorge Torregrossa Writer: Jorge Torregrossa Genre: Short movie Country: Spain Language: Spanish ( NO subtitles) Year: 2006 Duration: 22 min
Stars: Andrés Gertrúdix, Sara Simon and Félix Gómez
Andres and Sara have known each other for a short time. Felix and Silvia have been together for five years. The two couples spend a summer day around a swimming pool.
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.
