    Bresson's Lurid Porno about a Two Gay Men

    Practically about two men who met after answering an add. Apparently something that was common back in the day even with the straights.

    Its a gay porno that feels much closer to the Boys in the Sand. Its almost impressionistic by nature, with a less than solid narrative storytelling. It practically just the main leads reading each other's letters.

    I do not know how to judge this primarily since it is not as its not as artistically inclined like say Pink Narcissus AND it still missing the strong storytelling of its more lurid counterparts deep in the Golden Age of Porn. It would give it some points though for the ff: * the editing and sound design is above anything from the porn of the time, * it definitely made with the same gay pride event that is present in the marvelous 'A Very Natural Thing', and * it made choices that definitely deliberate AND reflective of vision as a director.
