An excellent short that exemplifies queer desire and how constructed social fears turn tension into hostility. Runs the risk of falling into the "violent gay male love" theme. The film, however, seems to run years back on each of the men's lives and even the sex act is hardly racy; "Shower" displays homoerotic tension and discomfort and, more importantly, why violence occurs alongside desire. A paradox, surely, but a sore truth shared among many unsuspecting queer males.
