Title: Some fine moments...
Review: Gay cinema certainly has a place in film history, and I came across the "Boys Briefs" series via Netflix. I've seen all but the first, and it's often refreshing to have a narrator to give a glimpse. In #4, "Ricky" was only annoying. Just because it was about street hustlers, he pretended to be "badder" than any of the characters portrayed. It was a misgiuded build-up for some sweet stories, and fine films. "Gold" was well done, with the most graphic street stuff. "Boy" was OK, but there was some bizarre approach that ultimately rang true and satisfying. "Into the Night" was fine; the best was "Build", written, directed and starring the very attractive Greg Atkins. All of these films are about deception, and, getting past that, the gay life may survive. "Into the Night" may be the best depiction of it all. Recommended for the film purists, and, happily, doesn't include the horrors that real street hustlers face on a daily basis.
