Luca Ragazzi
Suddenly, Last Winter
(Italy, 2008, 80 mins)
Features
Monday, June 9th 5:30pm
AMC Loews 34th St Theater 9
$13.00


The fight for equal rights for LGBT people in Italy takes center stage in this engaging activist documentary. Gustav and Luca have been together for eight years, a strikingly attractive gay couple who live a comfortable life in Rome. But when a national debate erupts over a proposed law that would afford rights for gay and unmarried couples, they find themselves drawn to record the arguments, pro and con. The heart of the film is the obvious love between Gustav and Luca – by using their own relationship to interject moments of humor and frankness, they humanize and universalize the film so that it speaks across the borders of any specific country to affect us all.  More...

Things aren’t quite so bad – enter Steven, an attractive blond quite a few years older than Karsten who immediately captures the boy’s heart. But Karsten doesn’t know that Steven is his dad’s chief rival, Steven doesn’t know that Karsten is Wolfgang’s son, and Wolfgang? Wolfgang doesn’t seem to know much of anything!

Ask Keith Price how he is, and you can bet he’ll answer “Fabulous!” a term which also describes his one-man show.

Combining Keith’s act, interviews, and cultural analysis, Ebony Chunky Love offers a funny and intelligent commentary on issues of class, race, and body image in the gay community.  More...

From the maker of last year’s Lonely Child comes a meditative exploration of the deliberate self-destruction of a seemingly normal teenager and his intimate friend. With his parents away, Julien has decided to commit suicide, with his friend Niels filming him. First seen naked in bed together, the handsome youths awaken, dress, and begin to methodically discard all of Julien’s possessions and attachments. Demonstrating a casual ease with one another and their bodies, they wordlessly record both the mundane and unusual aspects of these last two days of life. The Taste of Nothingness is a challenging but rewarding experimental film that haunts the viewer long after it ends.  More...
