A great portrayal of masculinity in his home country. If it wasn't for cinema would we ever know anything of these people and their lives.
Zilnik deserves some kind of recognition for his cinematic protests against the prohibition of free speech and democratic rights in his country. His life has been dedicated to this cause and it should be recognised. This film is remarkable, poignant, touching & thought provoking. Zilnik flinches neither from issues which are currently topical in the west, (gay rights) nor sophisticated techniques of film making. You wouldn't see such a film nominated for an Oscar, but it's a better, greater experience than many which are.
