The recent-ish, Armond White-approved Last Summer seems to want to be a queer variant on an early David Gordon Green pic--All the Real Boys, perhaps?--but too often confuses adolescent banalities spoken in laconic voiceover for profundity. I like that it isn't about coming out or homophobia, despite its Deep South setting (a copy of Flannery O'Connor on a bookshelf is eager to let you know that the filmmaker has done is homework!), but then again it isn't really about much of anything else, either.

so there's this 'collective' of queerish/pansexual American-European filmmakers who are getting screened in NY this week... Fort Buchanan is pretty good/wack/like a Fassbinder-meets-Lifetime soap; with Palaces of Pity it might help to know more Portuguese history than I do. A History of Mutual Respect is the artiest "bro" satire you may ever see...

― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 28 October 2016 01:25 (seven years ago) link
I liked it as well, though perhaps not as much as you. Found it good, but rather conventionally made.
I've seen two other arty gay films. Alain Guiraudie's followup to Stranger by the Lake, Staying Vertical, is unfortunately a big disappointment in my view. Luckily Joao Pedro Rodrigues' The Ornithologist is everything Staying Vertical should have been, a mishmash of landscapes, myths, times, and places, with identity a big factor, and a lovely sex scene on a sunny beach.

^I liked it fine, probably AT's best since The Witnesses, but didn't love it. The dad in the military, we all saw where that was going from the first, yes? It wasn't at all obvious, or even plausible, that Thomas reciprocated Damien's feelings til well into the last act though.
Excellent performance by Corentin Fila as Thomas, also strikingly beautiful. (The kid who played Damien was jug-eared enough to be little Serge Gainsbourg in that biopic a few years back.)
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 26 March 2017 01:36 (seven years ago) link
Damien had been eyeing him Thomas since the first frame; it's hard to separate condescension from desire, especially at that age. Also, living in close quarters exacerbated it, which is why I don't think their attraction is a particularly deep one. Techine is subtle enough to suggest the relationship, born of conflict and breathing the same air, will dissolve soon enough. With his usual deft, glancing touch, he flirts with the idea that Thomas could have easily gone for Damien's mother had she confessed and tried to kiss him like Damien did.
As for the dad? He was marked for death like partners in cop films.

here's the quote for those who don't know:
I’m a bit suspicious of Xavier Dolan, for one reason: he does too many films. I do not believe in hyperactivity. I like the idea of reflection,” he told Purple Diary. “I think ‘Mommy,’ for instance, is a typical post-Almodóvar female drama, shot in the clever, intelligent way of today, with an awareness of the iPhone generation. Is it a gimmick having to do with the tool? Or does the tool affect the way the images are put together? I was very upset when ‘Mommy’ — what a title! — was awarded the Jury Prize in Cannes. It basically contradicted Godard’s lesson that such an orgy of images is the end of language and then was rewarded for being an orgy of images.”

Both of them have made some very annoying films, tho LG nothing as bad as Mommy.

I'll concede ethat no Dolan film has a scene as necessary as Matthias Schoenaerts and Tilda Swinton writhing in mud.

If you distrust people who make too many movies surely you shouldn't be quoting Godard? Two to three a year during his 60's prime!
