Despite having a title that sounds a little too much like a 1990s straight ‘erotic thriller’, the gay-themed short film collection Furious Desires looks like it might be pretty good. It presents a series of films which, as the title suggests, looks at different forms of desire.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Desire is mysterious. Desire is overwhelming. Desire is tragic. Desire is FURIOUS. The many permutations of that strange thing called desire are on full display in this stunning collection of short films: Daytime Doorman tracks the burgeoning desire between Marcelo and his sexy doorman Marcio. Xavier charts the beginnings of desire, when Nicholas begins to notice his son, Xavier, only pays attention to certain types of boys. The Other Side is about the frustrations of unfulfilled desire when the object of your lust is beyond your reach- literally. The Tigers Fight explores what happens when one man, unbound by the ancient traditions, decides to subvert what s expected of him to declare his desire for his best friend, and finally, in Loris Is Fine we learn about the lengths two young lovers will go to prove that their love is beyond desire.’
The collection will be out on DVD in the UK on September 25th. Take a look at the trailer below.
