A contemporary view of gay men struggling to define what real is - for themselves, their love relationships and their career. This is a story about a protagonist who is having a hard time reconciling with his life choices that form a symmetrical pattern with his art and his relationships - both lead to his restlessness and dilemma of giving up what might actually be important.
I won't say much as I don't want to spoil but the fact there are gratuitous scenes of sex in this movie actually, in my opinion, reflects the boldness of the director to take on the subject head on. Of course there is easy sex available in the life of the character and that reflects the dilemma of the main character. Male genitalia and orgasm in a movie about a gay man in Sf - and what's wrong with that?
The supporting cast is amazing in their realistic performances. It's shot almost in a documentary style and that lends a credibility to the whole aspect of story telling.
Finally a movie that does not wrap up a story of gay humans in a neatly predictable package and serve it to us.
Of course there can be improvements and yada yada but in 2012 this is a movie about an artist searching for his meaning of life. And he is gay. And he is in Sf. So prudes you've been warned.
Oh and as far the story being meaningless, no plot etc is concerned, we could have had a more dramatic fleshing out of what the existential crisis is but I don't feel it needs further explanation. But that's only my opinion.
Whatever. Watch it.

They said this movie has two scenes that have caused women to faint...I believe them. This movie is jarring in the use of human body as a victim...the scenes rip you open.
However, the movie is much more - its a symphony of disease, the diseased and the victims. Each note is an accompaniment to the large piece that the director is writing right before your eyes. As the story unravels you begin to hear the music in all its impacting purpose.
And the score of the movie keeps pace - watch as the circus of human tragedy and horror dances to the tunes of the composer/director/story teller.
Must not miss. Fast forward the gore if you really must. But watch this impeccable portrait of human frailty.
