Kirpianuscus

a XIX century romance from 1974

I was seduced by poster , imaginating a homosexual romance of XIX century. Not being mormon, the meaning of elder works not exactly in this denomination sense.

And, indeed, this story from 1974, a forbidden love between a Mormon missionary in Italy and an Italian Communist is, in its basic traits, its development and its final, a XIX century story at whole.

Impossible , confessed in touching, for profound honesty and reveal of emotion , same after decades, by Tom Clark, not different by other stories of Mormon gay attractions reflected by cinema but ,maybe, more intense for bitterness, predictable in fact, it is beautiful short documentary in profound sense.

So just see it !
