Product: Jeffrey [VHS] (1995)
Rating: 5.0
comedy about Aids with a message
Jeffrey decides he doesn't want to have sex because it has become so difficult to enjoy it with all the dangers of Aids. Of course, his attitude is impossible to maintain when he meets Steve, a gorgeous - and HIV-poisitive- guy. The film shows Jeffrey's struggle to come to terms with his fears, and to not let them stand in the way of a relationship with a man he loves. Friends and family play an important role in helping Jeffrey. Maybe this sounds dull, but it's actually very funny; especially the scene where he calls his parent is hilarious (I won't spoil the fun by telling what he discusses with them). With the current increase in HIV infections, this is again a very topical film that you must see. It shows we have to enjoy life to the full, without losing a sense of reality.
