DVD Reviews of Like a Brother (Unrated)
DVD Review: French love....by the nombres (uh, I mean 'numbers')
Summary: 2 Stars
THE STORY---
#1. Tres Cute-Boy grows up in quaint seaside town.
#2. Cute-Boy, realizing which way his 'tide turns', falls for Cute-Chum.
#3. Cute-Chum, unwilling to admit feelings (bi?......nah, prolly not), constantly lolls all over Cute-Boy + utters "meaningful" things to him.
#4. Cute-Boy becomes more + more confused after Cute-Chum brings self to romantically kiss Cute-Boy.....then suffers 'comes-in-handy amnesia'.
#5. Cute-Boy, very unhappy + not 'getting any', heads for Big-City to try luck.
#6. Cute-Boy in Big-City (the one with tall, metal tower) hooks up with estranged, but-now-all-accepting Pere (uh, I mean Dad) + begins search for "love + a lasting relationship."
#7. Cute-Boy has much trouble finding something "meaningful".......but when at last he does + tide is running smoothly, who should show up but......Cute-Chum.
#8. After "catch up" time on park bench, Cute-Boy must head off for appointment.......but Cute-Chum wants to tag along.
#9. FIN (uh, I mean The End......really!)
BEHIND THE STORY---
#1. Cute-Director/Writer (behaviorally, not physically) creates an, in-the-end, confusing series of flashbacks (presumably to give us a sense of more than the bare plot that's actually there).
#2. Photographically, Cute-D/W gives us confusing melange (uh, I mean mix) of a color palette (washed out in home town scenes / brightly colorful in Big-City ones). Actually, he probably meant that.......but which way DO we adjust our monitor's color scale?
#3. Cute-D/W's scene lighting for sex scenes is catastrophic, particularly to gay viewers (who else would there be?). One can tell (from soundtrack) there's a lot of action going on, but it's so frustratingly dark that any enjoyment is lost (turning up bright-level only leads to a "washed out" picture). You can bet if this were "hetero-sex" the scenes would be as brightly lit as the Sahara Desert at noon.
#4. Cute-D/W's sense of what makes a fulfilling story, and how to end it, seems to this viewer (to again use the word) 'frustratingly' out-of-kilter. I've already told you about the final scene; what you haven't been told is the movie's "timing." This film (uh, I mean "work of art"?) times out at just about a very brief 55 minutes. To make matters worse, the DVD Extras---with a "Making Of Featurette," wherein Cute-D/W and others explain this production to us---clocks in at a hefty 32(!) minutes. When a film explanation takes nearly two-thirds the length of the feature, we viewers out here have to wonder......don't we?
PS--Points given for a coupl'a or three 'hotties' and for hot sex (but only for the hearing-empowered).
