This was shown on Channel 4 as part of a season celebrating 40 years since the legalisation of homosexuality in Great Britain. Anyone viewing this film would be likely to campaign for it banning again! While it was cleverly constructed to intertwine the lives of a variety of gay men from different backgrounds, I felt it used sensationalism to a very negative end. There were many gratuitous scenes of violence and sex, including full frontal shots and erect penises, which added little to the bleak storyline. Anyone curious about their sexuality, viewing this film would end up that far back in the closet they would be in Narnia! All that said, this film tackled some very pertinent topics, was well acted and beautifully filmed. I just feel that it wasn't appropriate to be shown as part of this particular season.
