SYNOPSIS
Queer Review by James Kleinmann
An intimate evening between a film director and an escort is disrupted when a familiar face arrives.
Writer-director Antonio Marziale gives an electrifying drag performance that builds to a gripping and powerfully moving climax in this audacious queer revenge thriller tackling the abuse of power in Hollywood which received its world premiere at Sundance and now heads to this month’s Berlinale. As the film opens we meet a young-looking aspiring movie star (Cole Doman) as he arrives at the impressive yet soulless home of a wealthy Hollywood director (an unnerving, suitably creepy Jonathan Slavin). With the promise of launching the actor’s screen career hanging in the balance, the older man enlists him to fulfill his schoolboy fetish sexual fantasies, involving protective plastic covering on the bedroom floor.
