In Bloom
Two young men find their seemingly solid relationship threatened when temptations and unease begin to pull them apart. During one hot summer, blond, pot-smoking and dealing Kurt (Kyle Wigent) and cute, but moody grocery store clerk Paul (Tanner Rittenhouse) begin a committed relationship. Best pals, roommates and lovers, they have an amazing rapport. But when rich-kid Kevin (Adam Fane) enters the picture with romantic designs on Kurt, an unsatisfied longing is exposed – threatening their love in the process. A richly textured examination of gay male relationships, In Bloom is a warm, funny, intelligent, sharply-written, painfully honest, well-acted drama.

Lucky Bastard
Director Everett Lewis returns in fine form with this sexy dark thriller about a young man who finds his stable world threatened when he meets and falls in love with hot drug-addicted hustler. After some risky decisions cause his home-design business to falter, handsome young Rusty (Patrick Tatten) blows off steam with Denny (Dale Dymkoski), a blond bit of rough trade he meets at a convenience store. But what begins as a carefree fling lights a fire inside the buttoned-up architect, and before long Rusty follows Denny into an unpredictable world of drugs, sex and seedy characters. Fueled by the palpable chemistry between the two leads, Lucky Bastard details a somewhat grim reality full of dashed hopes and damaged goods, while also highlighting the enduring spiritual bond that forms between lovers. As Denny’s moods swing out of Rusty’s control, Rusty finds himself at a crossroads, to stake out his future against the messy backdrop of real life.

Beauty

2011, South Africa

Beauty is an intense portrait of Francois (Deon Lotz), a dutiful, middle-aged husband and father who frequently sneaks off to an isolated farmhouse to partake in an orgy with other white, married men. While hosting his daughter’s wedding, a charming young man named Christian (Charlie Keegan) approaches the proud father and something snaps inside Francois. He embarks on a dark, unwavering journey of obsession that leads to a shocking and graphic conclusion. Lotz is utterly amazing as Francois, who fills with bitter jealousy and tragically unravels in front of our eyes. Winner of the Queer Palm at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, Beauty exposes the ugliness within a homophobic society by challenging us to feel the struggle and self-loathing of a vastly complex character. This is a shocking movie to say the least.
