Title: Kind of a mess
Review: I like Everett Lewis' movies. His characters are always quirky, kind of at the edge of society and the actors he chooses to play their parts, are well chosen and provide great dialogue. I've watched this thing two times, and my response is that it's kind of a mess. No clear story lines about the three male prostitutes, doesn't really add up to much,and like a foreign art movie that is supposed to have some deep meaning, to the ordinary observer, it looks like a piece of crap.It is difficult to have any sympathy for any of the characters here. No one makes any real connections with each other, and the film ambles along much like three semi-connected nightmare dreams sequences involving people who are on the road to nowhere. A much better choice in terms of the subject matter here would be Andy Warhol's Heat. Skin and Bone could have been a much better film. Would like to see Everett Lewis redo it today and see what he could come with. His later films are much better.
