'Touching, uplifting and strikingly honest.' - Ga圜elluloid. Un Chant d’Amour (Jean Genet, 1950) Jean Genet’s overpowering 1950 short Un Chant d’Amour, made shortly after the publication of The Thief’s Journal, is a milestone not just of gay rebellion, but also of pure sensual expression in film, a polemical vision of desire forged with the provocateur’s randy ardor and the artist’s spiritual directness. With its authentic and perfectly poignant tone Boys ranks as one of the most wholesomely romantic gay teen films ever.
The romance between them unfolds with a palpable sense of longing - and an aching sequence of heartache as Sieger tries to fight the inevitable. In their boyish summer courtship the two of them swim, bike, run - and share ice creams and kisses as they gradually find the courage to be vulnerable with one another.
Equally handsome Ko Zandvliet co-stars as his love interest, the spirited and outgoing Marc. Chiseled Dutch phenom Gijs Blom stars as Sieger, a thoughtful 15-year-old who grapples mightily with his emerging gayness. In this beautiful and uplifting gay romance, two teen track stars discover first love as they train for the biggest relay race of their young lives. One of the most romantic gay teen movies ever Milk (I) (2008) The story of Harvey Milk and his struggles as an American gay activist who fought for gay rights and became Californias first openly gay elected official.
