an OK flick

Rating: 5/10 (21 June 2013)

I​ have heard about Liberace and his flamboyant shows and outfits but never really gave it much thought about his sexuality. I suppose I knew he was gay but was not really interested ether in him, his music nor his personal life. But when the film came out I thought it would be in interesting view. And it is. The story is quite depressing: an old queen afraid of being outed, lonesome in his golden cage and a young innocent gay man lured into the light of bling - and we all know what will happen: he'll get tossed as soon as Liberace gets bored. No surprise there then. I find the film well made, acting is superb. All in all I'd like to hear more Liberace's playing and music. Apart from few Chopin clips and his show in the beginning of the film, music is pretty scarce which I find a big minus.​
