Nice looking film taken from a story by Christopher Isherwood. I wish I hadn't seen Chris and Don last fall about Isherwood and his boy-toy. This film was uncomfortably close to that story...with a little death thrown in.
The film came across to me as an hour and a half infomercial for the glories of being a gay male. Lots of soft lighting, affection, etc. Like a film from the mid 50's was for the straight set. It didn't work emotionally for me at all. Good use of color...modern editing was nice but it still left me cold.
