Summary: A Refreshing Antidote to the Mainstream Fare
Review: With the continuing boom in gay independent films surfacing, we are enjoying a rich diversity in themes and perspectives. "In The Flesh" provides an excellent character study of a young, student/street hustler struggling with life, family and the prospect of love with an older undercover Atlanta drug enforcement officer. This film provides a refreshing antidote to the usual mainstream fare. The DVD includes deleted scenes and a good commentary track by writer/director Ben Taylor. The film is certainly worthy of repeated viewing.

Summary: The film and the music
Review: Yes, for Atlanta! and yes for a tender, honest, developingrelationsip with real problems between lovers! Could have used a bitmore intimacy... Also, after much research I found some of the musicbackgrounding this film. It can be attributed to Wes Yoakamsinger/songwriter. His songs were evidently found by Ben Taylor(producer) while this kid worked in a Athens,GA night spot called the40-Watt Club. He performed there occasionally and worked in the placepart-time while being a student. Sounds reminiscenat of thee film'scharacter Oliver. Anyway some of the songs are found on Amazon.com ina CD called "Four Star Explosion"......I found out by wordof mouth around the Atlanta area about the music. Also, I found the CDon Amazon.com ... I now own both the DVD and the CD! Good luck infinding it for yourself.
