A quiet, character-driven drama that drags you through some deep, traumatic, and tragically important emotions.
This should take an important place in queer film history, actually. For several reasons, all of them spoilers.

2022-11-13 10:58:52 +0000 UTCWatching these types of shows makes me realise that there has been progress, but there is always the fact that this is the life for queer people in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Hungary, Qatar, China, etc etc etc on and on too much. I mean, you could do this exact storyline today in Tehran, or Shanghai but change the story around a little allowing for culture and fashion, and that's the same plot. They have re-education camps in China, this time last year the Police rounded up a bunch of folk at a gay club and all of them disappeared. The stakes are just this bad for at least half the population of the world, still, today and it will be for the foreseeable future.

The white cliffs nearby are starkly beautiful. I forget that all the Indian architecture (the memorial, and the Royal Pavilion palace) may be unexpected to outsiders! This film helped me remember to look for the beauty in the familiar.

Feel like I need to go to the museum next time I’m home. I did a bit of reading afterwards and the book was loosely based on a real-life thrupple in which 'Patrick' was novelist EM Forster.
