Die Höhle

The realism can be defined as basic virtue of this precise definition of loneliness, a teen and his parents and their relation, a teacher and his secret love story , a meeting and cohabitation.

The cave remains the powerful symbol of a way to see the life in its basic traits and to try to shape it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Story, acting, music, directing, editing and visuals all top notch. This movie is not the stereotypical gay movie that we see these days. Just a good storyline with 2 good actors interpreting what they have been given. Also very easy on the eyes. FY: Do not leave when the credits start rolling as the movie is not finished and things get somewhat wrapped up.

Good 2 hours of entertainment. I highly recommend seeing it. It would also be a good movie for those struggling with belonging and trying to come out to themselves and others. I saw this at a gay film festival in Palm Springs and all those in attendance seem to enjoy it.

I had no idea this would turn into a two-hander, a film genre that I'm not particularly keen on. However this one was original enough and the circumstances were edgy enough to overcome any possible boredom.

We see the background to the two leads' lives, which is essential to understand their motivations and interactions later. After an accident that traps both teacher and pupil in a cave complex, these two young men become close during their efforts to get out.

I'm glad to have seen two things. Firstly that there turned out to have been no hanky-panky in the story between the two leads. Secondly that it's emphasised that the urge for a relationship, however fleeting, comes from the younger guy, something that pertains so often in real life.

I didn't know there was an epilogue after the closing titles. I'm going to have a look now. Pretty dumb way of doing it though, I have to say.

The Czech film Kam motýli nelétají (2022) was shown in the U. S. with the translated title Where Butterflies Don't Fly. It was written and directed by Roman Nemec.

Daniel Krejcík portrays Daniel, a 19-year-old young man who is generally unliked and unloved. Jirí Vojta plays Adam, a closeted gay teacher at Daniel's school.

Once we've met the cast--Daniel's mother and father, Adam's partner--the movie is essentially a two-person drama. The acting is good, the plot is well-developed, and the interaction between the young man and his teacher holds your interest.

This movie has an acceptable 7.2 IMDb rating. I thought it was much better than that, and rated it 9.

We saw the film as part of Rochester's wonderful ImageOut LGBTQ Film Festival. I hope it finds a distributor so it's available commercially.

This is easily one of my favorite movies that centered around gay characters. Without going into the synopsis too much, I'd rather say about how I feel about this movie.

It's a masterpiece in itself. Even though this is a sequel of some sort to a short film but this movie could very well be a standalone film by itself. And the ending, which is after end credits had rolled deserved to have another follow-up.

As for the movie, I'd say it played on so many levels. But the main important things to take note are knowing about who you are and how you fit in this rather oppressed world where being gay is concerned. That is the major symbolism of the cave. How could you survive in such desperate scenarios in which the world throws at you. And another thing is about overcoming prejudices of others and making presumptions of others. In other words, do not judge a book by its cover.

In terms of the two leads being caiught in the cave, there were several intense moments. And I admit that despite the unusual relationship between the teacher and student I do want them to have some intimate moments; which there were yet those moments were given tasteful treatments. Their performance were excellent and their chemistry was organic. You vouch for them. At the same time, as the movie progressed while they were trapped in the cave it did feel as if all hopes were lost. And with every such moments presented itself I feel morbidly ok about it. They found hope and strength in each orher.

Ultimately, if the cave represents the oppressed world for whom we love then the titular butterfiles represent hope.
