GAY DIRECTOR ADAM KALRON PICTS HOMOPHOBIA THE SWIMMG WORLD WH ‘THE SWIMMER’
As he told ScreenDaily’s Geofey MacNab, “By makg this film, we would not only want to highlight the problem of homophobic bullyg profsnal sport, but show a hero who is brave and strong enough to face adversy and is able to overe everythg wh attu.
Dpe their homophobic and tyrannil Rsian ach Dima (Igal Reznik) breedg unhealthy petn, a iendship velops between Erez and another ntenr trag, Nevo (Asaf Jonas). It's false advertisg, is what an Gay film, don't work. This movie failed on all of the afore-mentned story go nowhere, 's evintly meant as some sort of g-of-age thg, and to nounce homophobia, but apart om the ocsnal macho talk the locker room and the qutnable opns of the ach, all seems to be more the head of ma character Erez, who right om the start of his entrance this trag mp seems to do his utmost bt to NOT f wh the already begs wh him wearg a flarg orange speedo amid all other pla blue on, but he also don't follow l, smok pot, behav like an irratg and hormone-driven #me-too stalker towards his bt buddy and eventually be more and more cranky and antagonizg his behavr.
Oh, and suggtg that the apparently homophobic ach is a hidn homo himself is such a lame cliché and really way too easy! I expect better om Israeli ' Gay films ' than this. For a start is full of gay clich; shower scen showg male nudy, and a lot of other imagery that falls to the clich of gay cema.
