Product: Gods and Monsters (1998)
Rating: 5.0
One of Hollywood's Best Gay-Themed Films
"Gods and Monsters" boasts an elegant and insightful script, fine acting from all the principals (Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser in particular), and a delicate sense of fading eroticism (the brief reverie of a remembered pool party is one of the most poignant evocations of lost romantic vigor ever put on film). The historical and fictional elements are well integrated. A film that "stays with you" long after the final image fades. The transfer to DVD is sharp and the layered sound quality excellent. Highly recommended.
