Mysterious Skin

Some gay flick here. While it has its highs, it wasnt as bedazzling or spectacular. The romps and sex scenes were really quite graphic though, sometimes bloody too (literally).

Storyline nothing much to crow about, average acting but the young actors were cute and it avoided most of the hackneyed gay stud thespians with sculptured torsos and all. It featured a variety of mainly older gay antagonists, many of whom we can relate to in our day to day encounters of all shapes, sizes and personalities.

One particular scene stood out with an aging and AIDS-afflicted male (breaking out in Kaposi sarcoma) in pony tail hungering for that elusive intimate healing touch.

Dont go looking for hard-ons or sexual stimulation. Has a strong theme of child sexual abuse and moralistic coda. Slow-moving but generally satisfying.
