Daniel Muller (Olivier Rabourd 'Of Gods and Men') is a gay man who is attracted to one of them - he is not sure if they are for rent but approach Marek and a date is arranged at Muller's apartment. But, I also appreciated s hont portrayal of htlg as relat to age and isolatn gay male choice to make Daniel, the middle aged gay client of Marek/Rolan, a whe-llar prsive who is not a slick English-speaker was brilliantly spot on.

GAYT PLAC IN MARYLAND FOR 2020

The plot and the Boss character's personaly take tertg turns which balance the subdued portrayals of Daniel and Marek/ an olr gay man who me out at 17 on a htler strip of an Amerin cy the 1960s bee I uld not get to bars, I was imprsed by how some thgs really haven't changed spe the progrs veloped natns for middle class and wealthy gay men. I won't spoil the story, but if you are not homophobic and if you like movi such as Stephen Frears's "Dirty Pretty Thgs", this is a great cematic experience.

10 BT GAY BEACH THE WORLD

An exploratn of gay male sexualy, xenophobia, and the immigratn problems plagug Europe the wake of the llapse of the Soviet Unn, Eastern Boys begs slowly and unrgo a number of tonal shifts.

This is a very well-told story about a young illegal Ukranian immigrant boy lled Marek, who is cised by a 40-ish gay male at Paris' Gare du Nord tra statn.

LOOKG FOR THE GAY OLD DAYS THE EAST VILLAGE

The plot is not somethg you would get om a gay May-December affair started and end like a thriller but at the heart of the film is a love story of a different kd. It had a documentary feel to , whout the obnox jtery mera work that some directors thk that look are some dly graphic gay sex scen, so if that's too much for you, nsir yourself warned.

However, the most difficult aspect of beg a gay Eastern European - like yours tly - isn't the danger of the suatn, or severg the ti to your fay, or fdg an opportuny to work a Wtern untry. The man falls love wh him but the boy's motiv rema way the story plays out giv very good ttimony to olr Wtern gays' fantasi of very young manipulative (or manipulable) Eastern rent-boys.

In their media, they ignore that rent-boys of Eastern orig are ually straight, realy 's actually very important to them, as they nsir payg for sex wh other gays unnecsary. Sce this is (fortunately) unlikely wh the more liberated gay generatn of today, they project this fantasy on poor 'Eastern Boys' n be tertg for straight dienc, then bee shows how superficial gay men n be, and that stereotyp our muny n be jt as pervasive and mean as those women are often subjected to. They should rpect that such a cliché pictn is highly offensive to Eastern gays - and enforc stereotyp faced at home, namely that beg gay is a sign of Wtern nce, weakns and psychologil disorr.

The technil aspects are all fe, and plement the narrative as they should, never tractg om the tale beg told, never llg attentn to themselv, which is the way should be - plot over everythg else, substance over style, and so performanc are also uniformly good, wh the bulk of the rponsibili shoulred by the ma protagonist played by Olivier Rabourd (many many creds, cludg the 'Taken' anchise, Ma mère, Rois et Ree, 13 Tzameti, Crime d'amour, Midnight Paris, L Lyonnais, Grace of Mona), who looks and acts like Kev Spacey (whout the shows that he's beg more famo for nowadays) 'David Gale' mo, and that's nice to an asi, a screeng as a part of, I got to see actual homophobia (no surprise actually, nsirg the mentaly of most of this generatn even, but beg faced wh was another thg altogether). A gay male uple Sarajevo, Kenan, a Bosnian, and Milan, a Serb, plan to emigrate to the gay-iendly Netherlands, but the war strands them Serb-ntrolled terrory, and Kenan adopts female drag to avoid beg found out as a circumcised Mlim.

In Fe Dead Girls Iva and Marija move to an apartment buildg that is home to a rogu' gallery of characters: a war veteran sufferg om post-trmatic strs, a prostute paid to break up the uple by a prit who is one girl's father, a homophobic gon of an apartment manager, and her son, a slacker mama's boy who rap one of the pair to prove his masculy. The film tak aim at the btaly and amoraly of ntemporary Croatian society, targetg patriarchy, natnalism, and the Catholic Church, as well as homophobia. Through credibly hont terviews wh gays, gay rights lears--and blatant homophob--director Vladislav Kvasnicka has created a film that ptur the nocence of an cipient social movement as well as a chillg look at the culture they're up agast.
