A YOUNG GAY MAN MEETS A STRANGER ONLE THE SHORT FILM ‘JAMIE’ – WATCH

Jayan K Cherian, a US-based Malayalam poet and filmmaker, whose 2016 film Ka Bodysp explored them of genr fluidy and homosexualy, scribed Nandakumar’s novel and s film versn as beg “hetero-centric” and a “supplementary pleasure for the male gaze”.

The film also ultimately chose to kill off the two girls— this is an example of ‘bury your gays’, a lerary trope which one or both partners a same-genr uple die.
