Sheng Xia Guang Nian - 盛夏光年 (2006) Eternal Summer

IMDb Details



Continuations: 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

SHENG XIA GUANG NIAN is one remarkable film from Taiwan and I'd say, one of the best in Asia. The chemistry amongst the characters make this dramatic piece so real that I now believe that such really takes place in this world... the love between best friends that is developed overtime. I am sure that the only reason why there are not so much of this kind in the open is simply because in most circumstances, both friends happen to be straight that their "romantic love" for each other remains their little most kept secret...

Nous Étions Un Seul Homme (1979) We Were One Man

IMDb Details



NOUS ÉTIONS UN SEUL HOMME explores the longing of two runaways in the middle of the forest... one from the asylum and the other from his battalion. It all started when the simple pheasant took care of the wounded soldier with the intention of bringing him back to health and probably have someone to talk with whilst recuperating. During the healing stage, the Frenchman becomes determined to keep his German friend as permanent company whereas the latter develops an urge for the former sexually.

Some may find it bizarre but it is actually the uniqueness of this very imaginative fiction that makes it so mesmerizing. The realistic and honest portrayals of the two lead actors can make one believe that such state could happen. I am not a sadist nor a masochist but I certainly loved the film's entirety. However strange the film's ending, it only confirms that once you reach the very peak of love, you simply will not let it go... until the end.

Son frère (2003) His Brother

IMDb Details



A drama composed entirely of clinical, corporeal facts, one of which is love... the love between two brothers who were so distant during their youth.

A very moving film that only proves "blood is thicker than water."

Eine außergewöhnliche Affäre (2002) An Unusual Affair

IMDb Details



A very compelling television feature from Germany showing the suffering of a once happily married middle-aged man, and also the sufferings simultaneously caused by his somewhat late coming out to his wife, daughter and most of all, his son. A warning to all the closeted gays not to embark on a life they cannot handle later in their lives. To put it simply, stop deceiving your own self as the consequences of your pretention will definitely cause severe hurt than happiness to yourself and the people you care for.

Segunda piel (1999) Second Skin

IMDb Details



SECOND SKIN's story is not the usual romantic drama you see for its subject matter is different but definitely in existence today. Indeed, it's scary when you discover that the person you love has a secret you never knew before making the legal commitment. All three lead actors' performances are simply compelling!

Hopefully, such unwanted situation does not exist in so many relationships...

Les Chansons d'amour (2007) Love Songs

IMDb Details

Expanded Plot Summary



LES CHANSONS D'AMOUR is an excellent entertainment feature to those with real eyes, hearts and ears. Having said that, a lot of impostors reviewed it quite badly but cannot blame them actually because they are absolutely impostors. The dialogues are mostly done in songs that are sung by the actors themselves... and mind you, they sing them in perfect notes.

I find the ménage à trois arrangement so funny and cute -- as they say, this is not at all strange in in the city of love and romance. And surprisingly, the chemistry that run between Ismaël and Erwann was so passionately engaging. A MUST SEE but I must warn you how the impostors felt about it!

Le Fate ignoranti (2001) The Ignorant Fairies

IMDb Details

Extended Plot Summary



LE FATE IGNORANTI is quite unique as compared to most films of its genre. You can say it's original except for the accident scene of Massimo (Andrea Renzi) which I believe is a copy of a scene in "Meet Joe Black" starring Brad Pitt.

Overall, the film is full of warmth, passion and tenderness... I'd say that it's a great film for all the sexes!

Männer wie wir (2004) Guys and Balls

IMDb Details



MÄNNER WIE WIR is amazingly interesting and at the same time, very entertaining. I would personally love to see a gay soccer team winning a real game with the straight guys. Hmmm... I wonder how the straight spectators would react... just in case.

Head On (1997)

IMDb Details



HEAD ON shocked its audience when first released in Australia as it is frenetic, furious and deliberately messy. What I really liked in this film is how it vividly showed a different kind of coming out... I am sure that such exists. And the lead actor's performance is simply superb. My Number 9!

Yossi VeJager (2002) יוסי וג'אגר Yossi and Jagger

IMDb Details



YOSSI VEJAGER is inspired by a true story and it is actually the continuation to the short film titled AFTER released back in 1990. Yossi was Erez then whilst Jager was Yonatan.

For the benefit of those who want to know how the affair really began, I strongly suggest that you watch the short film below as it will help you understand the characters and the extraordinary love story better. My Number 4!

Juste une question d'amour (2000) Just a Question of Love

IMDb Details



The mere fact that JUSTE UNE QUESTION D'AMOUR is a film originally made for television is proof that it's the most outstanding film ever made. Its primary intention is to reach more viewers for them to understand that gays are not to be despised but be accepted... that it's not a matter of being gay nor straight but simply a matter of who they fall in love with.

A true example of a realistic story, great direction, outstanding actors, and a powerful script!
