Mon père travaille de nuit

I watched this as part of the anthology "Boys on Film 21: Beautiful Secret" which I have reviewed but was so pleased to see that this short has an entry on IMDB so it can get its own review. It's certainly one of the better films of the collection.

It's a pretty erotic set of circumstances leading to a denouement that I should have seen coming - the religious are often twisted. I loved the way we were told about the sexual abuse inflicted by the religious nutter in the film as it showed that Felix, in his defiance, was on his way to healing after the event. I also liked the affirmation that it's not always the older guy who makes the running.

A good little gem that stood out amongst most of the other films in the collection.
