Summary: Endearing..like a faded photograph
Review: Incredibly, if you changed some details, this movie appears as if it could have been filmed a few weeks ago. It's that timeless. It's a love story which, despite a few muddy camera effects, unfolds seamlessly. The complexities of the relationship between the ex-priest and his two lovers are clearly defined, despite dialog that sounds, well, like it came from the 1970's. Oh well. The film does have an enchanting combination of innocence and lust. There's a good side story with bisexual tones which adds an air of avant-garde to the mix. An excellent date movie. See it!

Summary: Dated and Dissappointing
Review: I'm not going to go into the sound/quality/ issues on this movie because it is an old film. I did enjoy certain parts of the movie. Basically the main character, leaves the priesthood, becomes a teacher and starts dating a nice looking Ad exec. They move in together under pressure from the teacher. The Ad man cheats on him and tries to get him to participate in orgies ect... They end up breaking up. Then the teacher meets a guy much more similar in his wants and ideas. However, now he basically tells the new guy, no I made the mistake of trying to be in a monogomous relationship and it was all my fault we broke up because I was unrealistic ect... so lets just live this one for the moment. I found this a bit difficult to believe. Most of the time when people break up they know it is because there was a problem, an obstacle ect.. in this film the character basically changes entirely what he wants and believes based on a single break up even the most self hating guy isn't going to completely change his thought process just because he things didn't work out with one guy. Here is an idea, go out and find a guy you click with a bit better. I didn't find it realistic and think it was more a chance for the filmaker to make a movie supporting his ideas on relationships. Still It was very nice to see that such a film was made so long ago and as a look at the history of gay film it is very nice.

Summary: Extraordinary
Review: Sadly, this groundbreaking film has not aged well, and is now more a historical artifact than a compelling drama. The plot is fairly simple: Boy meets Boi; Boy and Boi try to copy hetero marriage; Boy dumps Boi over infidelity; Boy gets liberated; Boy meets Boi2; Boy and Boi2 find happiness by rejecting hetero values. Quite daring for its time (and tremendously affirming for Gay men trying to adjust to life post-Stonewall), the film now seems archaic when viewed through a modern Gay sensibility defined by current issues such as civil unions, domestic partnerships, adoption rights, hate crimes and safer sex.The film's production values are also outdated. The DVD is grainy, with poor color balance and often muffled sound ... which is not the fault of the DVD producers, but rather reflects the financial constraints often faced by pioneering Gay filmmakers of the period. Compare this movie with more recent Gay-themed releases like "Trick", "Jeffrey" or even TV shows like "Will & Grace" ... we've come a long way on both sides of the camera (as filmmakers and as a commercially viable audience), and that's a very good thing! Deserving of respect as a Gay cinematic milestone, but pretty rough-going for anyone seeking pure entertainment.

Summary: dated movie, but timeless story
Review: Technical stuff out of the way - this is a movie made in the 70's, with no restoration for DVD, so it, well, looks like an old movie. Grainy and some bad colors. Plus, it was made at a time when 'gay pride' was new, so there are some 'man on the street' interviews form a pride celebration which have nothing to do with the movie. The story is timeless though. It's the constant 'gay' struggle of sex vs love. Our hero tried to make a relationship with someone who isn't sure he wants love, but is our hero too interested in a domestic life and canot see the forest for the trees? I think this is a subject ALL of us go through as we search for relationships in our lives. This movie could be made today and the storyline would be exactly the same. This is a definite rent for any gay man, or anyone who wants to see that gays really don't lead a life of only sex...
