DVD Reviews of Love Life
DVD Review: Much better than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
Like a few others, I fell for the hot cover picture of the hairy jock in glasses. The story of a gay-lesbian marriage of convenience didn't appeal to me much, but I figured I could skip the lesbian parts if they got too boring. That all turned upside down as I watched the movie.
I lost interest in the hairy jock the first time they showed his closely trimmed pubic hair (that kind of thing seriously turns me off), but my growing interest in the other characters--and in the movie itself--more than made up for it. I ended up enjoying Love Life very much, and I enjoy it more with each viewing. The fact that I even want to watch it more than once says a lot.
This is a very intelligent, moody, quietly seductive exploration of personal relationships and private motives. Not much happens on the surface, but a lot underneath. The movie is smartly and economically written, beautifully composed and edited, with lovely closeups and lyrical intercutting of scenes between the two couples. All the actors--including those in supporting roles--are very, very good. A lot of gifted people put a lot into this, and they made an excellent movie with very little money.
I'd never heard of Damion Dietz, but this movie has made me a big fan. I'm in the process of watching some of his earlier films, starting with his first feature Fag Hag, which so far is about as much unlike Love Life as a movie could be. Dietz has a lead role in it, and he's delightful. After that I'm going to watch his latest movie, Dog Tags.
He's clearly growing as a filmmaker, and I'm eager to see how his work develops. I'm sorry to see that he hasn't acted in his later movies, but maybe he'll come back in front of the camera someday.
There's only one problem with the DVD. It has a very interesting commentary track, but you can't hear the normal audio in the background, and the commentary is out of sync with the video, so that they're talking about stuff you don't see for another 20 seconds or so. That all makes it a little hard to follow, but what they say is so interesting that it's worth a lot of shuttling back and forth to piece it together.
