A good watch - inside a surrealist taking.
The one basic tenet of this action-packed, though surrealist, series is: ‘Gay life is commonplace and two men kissing will call absolutely no attention to themselves’... lol!
LOL... well, we all know that is not true! But, movies are just movies, and - as it turns out - this series is quite enjoyable if you manage to accept that surrealist premise.
The plot is acceptable, though on occasion it becomes exceptional… especially during those intimate confrontations between father and son, or between the two lovers. All of it within the limited scope of what a 10 episode series allows, of course. Not a lot of time to develop a masterpiece of scriptwriting. Very little patience to wait before scooping up the profits – I guess: LOL!
Acting is good, and again: exceptional during certain scenes. The crying scenes are moving but the conversations about right-and-wrong are perhaps the best. Very good acting overall, the more one thinks about it.
With regards to Music, it is carefully thought out and does a great job supporting the plot. Lastly, rewatch value is high: the movie is complex enough that it would entertain a second watching at a later time.
