Exquisite

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2005)

This film is an exquisite resonance of the beauty and frustration that is life as gay men in our rural heartland.
Heroic images of the young men against the breath taking western panoramas, the spare spot on characterizations such as Heath Ledger's eyes down wounded puppy initial interactions, and the agonizing humanity captured by the four principle performers combine to make this a thoroughly engaging experience.
Finally, the romance is distilled into an essential elixir engaging with the excitement of the forbidden intertwined with the tragedy pain of life.
I saw the US premier at the Hawaii Film festival and eagerly await seeing the movie again with clarified sound.
