wtf!! This is my first reaction having sit through this film. It was such an amateurish experiment that I have no words to explain. The film is so dark. The story did have the potential of being 'different' in the world of gay cinema but a very shoddy screenplay, a shoddier acting department and pathetic direction made this film a drag.Roberto is a teenager and a drifter. He lives with his mom and sister (whose introduction is a 4way with 2 other man.. so weird!). One day he meets a gray long haired man Raul. He accepts his invitation to visit his home. Raul ends up beinga violent lover but Roberto still ends up spending the night with him. They continue to meet despite the violent nature of sex and eventually Roberto movs in because he gets a sense of 'home' and 'family'. He wants this to work but it is not easy with a dark side man like Raul. So now its power struggle in bed. Raul is always top but Roberto wants to be active too. Enter a Spaniard Caesar with whom Roberto has a brief affair. Caesar can't get over Roberto and stalks him to his house. When Raul finds out, he turns extra violent and beats the shit out of Caesar. When ROberto wants to leave the relationship, he threatens him that if he leaves he will hurt his mother and sister. Eventually on a dinner night, the sister and mother murder Raul to save their Roberto.
Twisted Romance is low rent in every sense and the central ‘love’ story is pretty unpalatable. In fact it becomes unwatchable after a certain point. I have already mentioned about he acting department. Maybe it was a little too real for the inner streets of Argentina but common, if you want audience for your cinema, you have to make it a little more engrossing. The characters were probably chosen by demand. Not a single person was even half decent looking. Raul was the ugliest. It is just so hard to justify why in the first place would Roberto be attracted to the man when he is ugly and violent.
Watch this film if you have a twisted mind of your own. (2/10)
