Les Mauvaises Fréquentations

No explicit content but several implied sex scenes. Many sexual encounters rage from casual to intimate.

Interesting short film about a teenager dealing with his sexuality, refreshingly the main character has no problem with the way society, in this case his family feel negatively about what he does, he just passively observes what happens around him. and goes about getting sex. it is erotic. and funny. as a straight male it is interesting to see (bi) homosexuality presented in a way where a homosexual character doesn't feel any shame or anything other about his sexuality. quite good, saw it on channel 4

Shot in my town, this extremely well shot short film is one of the most interesting ones I've seen in the last years...

The story of a gay teenager who not only lives his homosexuality as openly as he can but also uses it as a weapon. The movie is fresh, and the main performance is simply amazing.

A trivia, one of the supporting characters is played by Julio Sanjuan, better known in Spain for playing one of the most charismatic characters in box-office blockbuster "Torrente, el Brazo Tonto de la Ley" (Santiago Segura, 1998).

Enjoyable, interesting and impressive film. A solid/complete story in only 18 minutes.

Right from the start this short draws one in. The voice-over by Israel Rodriguez playing Guillermo is apt and witty - the writer had a flash of genius.

The film's about cottaging and speaks to a truth rarely acknowledged - that young gay guys make the running in these situations. No one was exploiting Guillermo although some of his conquests were persistent. Rodriguez was eighteen when he appeared in this film and did a fantastic job both acting and speaking as a confident sixteen year old.

Bi-guy Asier played by Pablo Puyol (already twenty five here but meant to be an eighteen year old) had his hands full when he and Guillermo started dating. The lure of the cottage was still strong. But the slightly crass English title gives a clue as to what had happened in the interim.

I've seen this twice and even devised a set of French subtitles for a friend some years ago. I lost my copy of the film but would gladly watch it again.
