puszysty at 11:30pm on 29/05/2010Just watched the movie Bent. If you enjoy movies that are heavy on imagery, I think you'll like it. I didn't so much. I'm more into character development, and I felt that was missing here, particularly at the beginning of the movie.
I'm told this started as a play, and having watched the movie, I can see it working very well on stage. I think I'd rather enjoy it as a play, actually.
Don't let the NC-17 rating fool you, it really deserves little more than PG-13. A bit of racy dialouge perhaps, but no moreso than a standard porny fic. I was thinking the rating was for Holocaust nastiness, but there's really nothing in that regard.
It's definitely not a Holocaust movie in the same way that Schindler's List and The Pianist are. Nothing really stomach churning. Think of it more as a gay man figuring himself out in the midst of tragedy.
On an aside, Mick Jagger should not look this good in drag:
