Beautiful Something

Brian is a frustrated poet who having lost his muse, now has also lost his inspiration. He seeks solace in easy love – that never works. Then there is Jim who is in a relationship with an older sculptor but he feels trapped. An ageing actor's agent, Bob, also cruises the streets in his limo looking for the young boys that will fill the void in his life.

On one night all the stories come together but in a way that is far from obvious and with enough drama to make you want to know more.

Now this also features a fair amount of bedroom rumpy pumpy and it is done in a realistic way. The actors are all excellent here and the direction is spot on. This is a film from Joseph Graham who you may remember from 'Strapped'. In some ways there are recurrent themes that were explored there but this is still an original, subtle, in your face and compelling piece of cinema that I can easily recommend.
