Honestly I don't even remember much of the film, but I wonder of the Loin film with same actors and director was probably a working title before the film was officially released as this.Goluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13451408127162977627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982412773040907702.post-20805233738885956432022-11-09T21:07:08.211-05:002022-11-09T21:07:08.211-05:00Whoa...IMDB mentioned the two boys had acted toget...Whoa...IMDB mentioned the two boys had acted together in another movie, Loin (Far Away) from 2001. Same director as Wild Reeds and the names of their characters are the same. I don't see any mention of it as being a sequel. I'll have to see if I can track it down.ILHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614768160059360282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982412773040907702.post-42978616892240842452022-11-09T20:55:33.164-05:002022-11-09T20:55:33.164-05:00I rewatched this one today.

I hadn't had the opportunity to see many foreign movies and had joined a mail order video rental club in order to do so. There was a lot I didn't remember but my experience was much the same. I agree the young actors were great, and I like the pacing of the movie. It was a little more talky and cerebral for me to have a big emotional response to, but well written and well made. I would say, an excellent movie just not quite to my taste. It was also wonderful for its time, to have a movie with gay characters not be solely about being gay or homophobia or having AIDS. I notice on imdb that the boy in the lead did a lot of writing and directing and worked several more times with the actor who played Serge. Somehow that feels like a satisfying conclusion to the movie.ILHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614768160059360282noreply@blogger.com
