Commentaire par Wally-18

Kyle, an aspiring young (18) poet and knockout gorgeous falls for Mike who arrives with a friend on a motorcycle and wearing the leather jacket of the title. Kyle meets Mike in a cafe in Silver Lake. Their courtship/romance is sensitively portrayed while the director carries the viewer to the limit of tasteful eroticism. The others in the cast help to move the story along and provide opportunities for humor and philosophy.

The Black and White photography could be better. It seems uneven at times. Color may have been nice but this provides an opportunity for imagination to play a role.
