Finished (1997)
Porn stars suicide and the author's lust motivate research into the stars life and death.
The film starts off slowly, in part because it is completely devoid of actors and action. Narrated entirely by one person, it is worth the effort to become adjusted to the style of this film. Take the time to get through the first hour, as your interest will pick up when the film explores the actors beliefs and an ideal of anarchy. The viewer is compelled to think. When the films summarizes, blame for the stars death is, thankfully not placed entirely at the feet of the porn industry. Too much emphasis is placed on pathological ramblings of a psychologically ill man and a serious dialogue does not ensue about how this man could have been helped.
The writer claims to have become disillusioned with the actor by the end of the film. I wonder if you will feel as I do that the writer's opinions of the actor have changed but he still is in love with his romanticized concept?

Lilies - Les feluettes (1996)
A must see for gay men.
Okay, I will explain my summary. This movie is not about being gay, as are most films whose principal characters are. The characters are not what straight cinema normally portrays us to be either. The story is broader than that, there is a purpose in bringing us into these mens lives. I was reminded of how intense love was, how consuming and selfless youthful love can be. However, those feelings were contrasted with memories of vengefulness of unrequited loves gone by too. Straight or gay you will enjoy this film.
