First off I should probably apologise, as we probably don’t pay enough attention to the B & T of LGBT on Big Gay Picture Show, and of those, it’s probably the B we most ignore most. Initially I thought Bacchanal might help on that score, but it doesn’t really as it uses an initialy air of bisexuality to suggest the men are really hiding their homosexuality.
And while that may be true in some circumstances, it’s certainly not universal.
But assuming it is true here, Bacchanal is strange and a little pretentious, yet very intriguing and good at building a sense of sexual tension.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Two young friends reveal their hidden desires by a theatrical presentation of Dionysus. The myth as well as the girl, initiating and redemptive becomes the catalyst of the hidden inner desires.’
The film comes from Manfred Rott, who also made one of out other showcased films, Utopies. You can watch Bacchanal below.
