"Emmanuel" (Andre Myers) - who takes a shower whilst still wearing his glasses (?) - can't decide what milk to buy for baking. Luckily for him, hunky supermarket assistant manager "Demetrius" (Jerimiyah Dunbar) is on hand. Later on, and luckily again, this same man is there to stop him driving home whilst blotto! Next morning he wakes up in strange surroundings, quickly discovering that he is in the bed of his new guardian angel (alone). Hastily, and embarrassingly, he meets the young man's two gay dads before they take a bus into town. Sobered up, "Manny" suggests they hang out for a bit and it's at this point we discover that he has some intimacy issues - which the rest of this film sets about explaining to us. The last ten minutes sort of redeem it, but for the most part this is a poorly paced affair with Myers turning in a performance that I found just too tepid before an ending that is hinted at earlier, but rushed and undercooked when it comes. Clearly made on a tiny budget, the hand held camerawork is twitchy and disorientating at times, and the dialogue struggles to put any meat on the bones of this really rather disappointing, if quite good looking, story.

1985-09-01This 1985 Spanish film reveals one of the many terrible aspects of 16th century Spain, still plagued by the radical Christian Inquisition, one of a plethora of difficulties Spaniards faced at the time. Spanish super star Carmen Maura plays a nun who agrees to a selfless scam, a fake stigmata, only to avoid separation from her lover, another nun. It's a serious and passionate work, highlighting the theme of outspoken women-against-repression, seen in other good gay and lesbian films. This is not a lesbian "Nun sense" or another "Dark Habits" (by Almodovar, which also starred Carmen Maura, and also set in a Spanish convent, with some lesbian nuns). Perhaps, best of all, 'Extramuros' is realistic and frank. It isn't shy about its characters' sexuality. Their sexuality, and the film as a whole are genuine.Smalltown Boys
