Hunks in Trunks
March. 26,2024What sex education was available in the 1990s, pre-internet, for me, the gay teenager in Britain? At school, the default education was heterosexual sex but I wanted to know about homosexual sex between men, and not just sex but about homoerotic desire and love. Rooted in making use of what was available to me at the time (pre-Internet times of the early 1990s) and making things ‘queer’. It was about how others reacted to making things ‘queer’, by birthday cards with half-naked men aimed at a female audience.
Reviews
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
