First Brignall was miscast, and Weir was not. Second the title with its Biblical title and its association with a city damned by supposedly divine intervention was utterly inappropriate. The casting of two men talking and sexually relating through the night did not bore me, as I like that sort of film that is intimate, and no two encounters are ever the same, and the nuances of such meetings can be full of human insight. Eric Rohmer's films are a perfect example on how to succeed in that. But to be honest I did not quite believe that these two would have much to say, and when they did I responded and despite misjudged casting the film has its merits. I disliked the ending, which was as negative as the title. No spoilers although other reviewers have. Sadly again the final scenes reminded me of those novels of the 1950's when it was obligatory ( publishers colluding with public opinion demanded it ) to be negative, but I switched off. A pity as the film could have totally succeeded.
