The Cock Collage

The third attempt at a shorts package, and I'm getting less and less pleased with the people who pick this stuff. As usual, gay-themed cinema is an iffy proposition, with a number of them feeling amateurish or at least strongly clichéd. It seems that gay film gets a pass on stuff that would get a straight writer or director sent back to film school.

Probably the most interesting piece is Yuri, a documentary about an eccentric old Russian man who was once a ballet dancer. The Back Room is also pretty good, building some strong but unique characters in a short time, despite its relatively broad writing.

The rest aren't particularly bad, just not that good either.
