Five Gay Films You May Have Missed
As gay characters and stories continue to move more into the mainstream in Hollywood, films like Brokeback Mountain, Kill Your Darlings, I Love You Philip Morris and Behind The Candelabra are thrust into the public conscience through the use of big name stars, large budgets and critical acclaim. But there are a number of hidden gems out there which may just have passed you by. Whether they are low budget affairs, have unknown actors or are foreign films which do not garner much publicity, there are some great films out there which can delight, charm and move you. So here are five films which you may have missed, but are well worth catching up with.
Poltergay
In this utterly charming French comedy, a young man, Marc, and his new wife move into an old house which used to be used as an underground gay club, until an unfortunate accident involving a short circuiting foam machine resulted in an explosion, and is now haunted by five gay ghosts.Trapped in the confines of the house and excited by the buff new arrival, the gay ghosts cause Marc to think he is losing his mind, as he is the only one who can see them and the only one who can constantly hear Boney M playing on repeat. His behaviour drives his wife away, and, feeling responsible, the ghosts embark on a plan to get the two of them back together. Don’t be put off by the fact that this film is subtitled, otherwise you will miss this gem of a movie. It is packed full of charm and heart, with a whimsical storyline and a feel good factor, which makes for some enjoyable and undemanding fun.
