Flirting With Anthony
Kenneth Anger meets Marquis de Sade in this unsettling fusion of ultraviolence and rough gay love. Thuggishly handsome tattoo-laden ex-con Anthony (Daniel Cartier) must face his demons about the life he wants and the one he leads in this, Christian (Shiner) Calson's sophomore feature. After a death in the family, the bisexual Anthony and his slutty girlfriend of convenience (Lowe Taylor) embark on bizarre road trip filled with multiple sex partners, an eclectic psychic (Mink Stole), and an amusingly submissive younger brother. While en route, Anthony's sadistic past catches up with him when he discovers an ex-gangbanger is stalking him across the country. A hallucinogenic descent into the sexually graphic world of S/M and demented love, Flirting with Anthony is a fearless challenge to conventional queer cinema.
