The Last Romantics

I saw this as part of a good compilation of five shorts called "Coming Clean". This short tells the story of a dangerous and edgy encounter in a cinema and I'm glad this one has its own entry here as it was the best of them all. The bearded guy is certainly worth public disapprobation to have a grope with in the back row! I loved the way the stories about the incident were told in different ways - the younger lad facing the camera matter-of-factly and telling us what had happened openly and unashamedly. Then the more lascivious way the same story is recounted in bed by the other participant to his lover. I really liked the fact that memories were not exact. The little coda of the lover telling a tale and its conclusion was a neat touch too. It was so real.

A short film seductive more for the simplicity of story than for story itself. Three men and their words / descriptions of a sexual crush. Two version for a short adventure in cinema, during the film, one in a bus . Nothing good or bad. Only words, stories and the air of documentary in the first part, a sort of so familiar talk of lovers in the second.
