This Hindi movie is a pretty straightforward slice-of-life story that tries to give a modern look at what it's like to be a single, professional gay man. It dives into how he understands who he is, the chances he missed out on, and the personal choices he’s made along the way. The director used three parallel timelines to tell the story, which honestly didn't make much sense to me. While the core idea was actually pretty interesting, I really feel like this would have worked way better as a short film considering the point it was trying to make. Still, it wasn't a bad watch. The plot centers on Rachit, a city professional, and his friend Shikhar as they hang out for an evening. Rachit is a polished, urban guy, while Shikhar has more of a "small-town" rustic vibe, and you can really see the contrast between them when they talk. As the night goes on, Rachit starts thinking back to some old memories from a long time ago. He remembers being an intern after college in ...
I don't even know why I am reviewing this film here. It I soothing but an excuse to watch porn for 75 odd minutes. Yes, it is porn with full on sex scenes; the only thing is that it is disguised behind an actual storyline, which to be honest are not that bad. But story probably constitutes 15-20% of the film, and the rest is sex. Its primarily a collection of four short stories.
"Diablo en Madrid" is a story of serial temptation in a graveyard. An irresistibly good looking guy is playing the part of the Devil who's come up to earth from hell. He succeeds in his mission of seduction, meeting resistance only when he encounters the "good" angel. This is portrayed as a battle of good and evil in the summary.
In "Über Menschen", a professor, is visiting Madrid from Buenos Aires and contemplates to kill himself by jumping off the Viaducto de Segovia, known as a notorious site for suicides. When his young Uber driver realizes that, he talks him out of it and offers him a very personal and seducing tour of the city instead.
"Purple Army Faction" - In the near future, a terrorist group called the Purple Army Faction (PAF) has formed to reduce the population in a dangerously over-populated world by stopping people to reproduce. For that, they kidnap unsuspecting heterosexuals, one played by Francois Sagat (who I have seen in plenty of porn), and sway them towards the gay cause.
"Dirty Cinema" or "Fleapit" - In the seventies, a seedy movie theatre showing B-movies and softcore porn were called a "fleapit." In"Fleapit," a group of eleven people watching Bruce LaBruce's The Raspberry Reich in a theatre slowly start to flirt with each other, becoming more and more sexually aroused as they watch the porn on the screen until they become part of the porn film themselves.
Absolutely totally avoidable at any cost, unless you are into porn with a purpose. (1/10)
