User review:
I saw this at a film festival in Philly where it was aptly introduced as “…either political commentary disguised as hard core gay porn, or gay porn disguised as political commentary.” As porn…wow. I wasn’t quite expecting the explicitness–so if that’s what you’re looking for, then enjoy. (I must confess that I did.) The actors are all very photogenic and appealing. There definitely was comedy, and perhaps even food for thought, in the political statements made by the over-the-top revolutionary characters. I found it a bit difficult to switch gears, but maybe after repeated watchings I’ll be able to do so. Those who are able to view hard core fare from an artistic and/or intellectual point of view will probably be better able to appreciate the film’s artsy elements as well.
