After reading the article 'New-wave queer cinema' I decided to actually watch a 'gay' film, and i stumbled across a film called 'North Sea Texas' (Noordzee, Texas) directed by Bravo Defurne, language being Dutch i watched with English subtitles which didn't bother me in the slightest it didn't take away the realism of the film if anything it added to it,with little dialog with most of the main characters emotions being displayed via his facial expressions making the subtitles a minor setback, but i like watching foreign films English subbed not dubbed since i think that takes away some of its authenticity (in my eyes.)
A short insight on what the movie is about, we're following a teenage boy's (Pim) search for love find himself fixated on the boy next door.
i'm really glad i found this film by chance and watched it. i found it a very sweet gay coming of age film. i liked the fact that there was no violence in this film, no one gets hurt or bullied... it also had an nice ending! i thought the lead character (Pim) actor acted really well, having not to say much to convey what he was thinking with a look.
Overall i really enjoyed this film, loved every moment and would love to watch more films like this. Great drama.
below is my groups first attempt at a 'long take' the irony of the matter is that it is indeed a short... very short attempt at a continuous shot which should of been longer but... well there is no excuse for lack of imagination. Any-who since we did not feel this was a good enough video for the class, i feel it was good enough for my blog (so you should feel very honored) and hopefully future projects shall show progress from what we started with, this being living proof.
5 stars!
