Summary: Very Well Made Italian Film. Passion Between Two Men.
Review: The film starts out with Claudio and Andrea making out in the car. It is their first time together. Claudio has a lover he has been living with for some time. They mutually decide not to live together anymore. Claudio finds out he is HIV-Positive. Still he continues to make friends. While Andrea wants to be firends with him and see him again, he decides to tell Andrea he is going on a long trip. He tells others that too and people close to him. The one man he was with the night in the car, he really begins to like. One night, he goes back to see Andrea. A neighbor tells him he is not ta home, but this is where you can find him. He does, and they have a sudden urge of passion, kissing and undressing madly. In the bedroom, Claudio suddenly tells him "He can't'". Without a condom, Andrea decides "It doesn't matter". This is just the start of the film. Very well made Italian film. I have never seen an Italian film quite like this one before. Not as emotional as it could have been. Played pretty straight. But, man, can the Italians show passion between two men. This DVD includes English subtitles.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Tragic
Review: This movie was slow and depressing. It's not about the triumph of the human spirit, it's about how truly mean lonely self-absorbed people can be. This is the type of realism I can do without. In the final analysis there was a point to this movie, and without spoiling it, well, the point is offensive. I've witnessed too much real love and courage to pretend that this movie has any kind of meaningful voice.
