BENEDICTN THOUGHTFULLY PICTS A MUNY OF GAY MEN
Benedictn may be Terence Davi’s gayt film yet: a character study of a WWI poet who keeps tryg to revent himself and fd solace.
Siegied Sassoon had more privilege than eher Ey or Hter, but (like Ey) was gay at a time when that was illegal and hhed up, and he was his prime when men his age were dyg drov on the battlefield. Though Davi, a queer filmmaker, tends to make films that are queer-d, Benedictn is unabashedly his gayt film to date. Hter The Deep Blue Sea was both Davi’s and the also-gay Rattigan’s avatar; meanwhile, Davi totally erased Ey Dickson’s queerns A Quiet Passn.
Ined, one of s bt quali is the way that Davi creat a whole muny of gay young men London who slept around wh each other, and whose gayns was an open secret. Given how much gayns has been d but unexprsed both Benedictn and Davi’s work more generally, as a shock when we actually see Sassoon fallg to bed wh another man.
