Filmes de Interés Gay

"Daniel, un joven londinense arrogante e inquieto está aburrido de su vida sin sentido. Busca la compasión de su vieja abuela judía, que lo envía a una misión a Europa para encontrar la tumba de su padre que desapareció durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Siguiendo el rastro de su abuelo, el viaje de Daniel lo lleva a París, Berlín, Praga, Budapest, y Sofía, que finalmente tuvo que huir Roma.

Cuando está viviendo una experiencia intensa tras otra, Daniel es atrapado en la confusión del cambio que ocurre en los antiguos países comunistas en el proceso de descubrimiento de sus raíces judías, que nunca le habían importado.

Lo que comenzó como una excusa simplemente para viajar y divertirse pronto se convertiría en una búsqueda obsesiva y un viaje de descubrimiento personal."

A primera vista, Daniel (Ash Newman), el insoportable héroe playboy adolescente de “Shem” de Caroline Roboh, rompe relaciones concurrentes con una mujer mayor (retratado por la Sra. Roboh, que también escribió y produjo) y su hijo. La aventura sexual es la fuerza que lo conduce a hacer piruetas alrededor de Londres pensando que él es el regalo de Dios para el hombre y la mujer.

Pero su existencia despreocupada es puesta en duda cuando su excéntrica abuela (Hadassah Hungar Diamant), la única persona por la cual él siente cariño de verdad, lo envía a una búsqueda inútil para localizar la tumba de su padre.

Viajando por París, Berlín, Praga, Budapest, Belgrado en Serbia y Sofía en Bulgaria, él aprende una o dos cosas sobre la vida, que los sentimientos del verdadero amor romántico pueden existir, inclusive para alguien que no le pueda corresponder. Él también recibe valiosas lecciones de historia sobre su antecedencia judía, que en el pasado significó muy poco para él.

El título "Shem" es un nombre hebreo. ¿Cuál es el valor de tener un nombre si no sabes quién eres? Daniel encontró su "shem" aunque no pudo encontrar algún rastro de su bisabuelo que murió sin haber dejado siquiera su "shem".

La fotografía es aturdidora, los paisajes son exuberantes y hermosos y el director da una definición distintiva a los valores y tradiciones de familia así como al descubrimiento personal.

Es un film personal y universal al mismo tiempo. Es una celebración gozosa de la vida entremezclada con las penas del pasado. ~ (revisión extraída)

A moral & sexual
dilemma. Whom
do they deny?
Themselves or G-d? . . .

"I was trying to
understand what it
means to come out
and to come home.
I wanted to see if
there was gay life
in this world I had
grown up in."
~ director Sandi Simcha DuBowski

With ''Trembling Before G-d,'' the director Sandi Simcha DuBowski latches on to a provocative subject and invests it with a compelling tenderness. This documentary is essentially about merging the Old World and the New, but with a twist that is shocking: it concerns the heartfelt desire of homosexuals to find a place for themselves in Orthodox Judaism, where they are shunned and repudiated. When does compassion supplant dogma, or can it? These are the deceptively innocent questions raised by ''Trembling'.

The director knows it would be wrong to take the easy way out and castigate the rabbi who tries to understand the sexual choice of David, a Jew who wants to be a part of the flock and cannot see a way out of his lifestyle. The rabbi does feel that things have changed since the Talmud -- which says homosexuality is punishable by death, ''an abomination,'' according to the Torah quote from Leviticus that opens the film -- but that has nothing to do with the demands of pure Orthodoxy. For the rabbi, David's path is simple, though for David, agonizingly so: stop his homosexual behavior or be condemned.

In the eyes of some Orthodox believers, death from AIDS becomes a hand striking down the blasphemers who dare to lead lives of open defiance, and ''Trembling'' doesn't overemphasize the opinion of many Orthodox Jews who think the problems that gays face are justified.

''Trembling Before G-d,'' a stark and appropriate title, tells several stories, profiling a number of people. Mr. DuBowski knows that the film would shatter if his viewpoint were rendered in hysterical terms or even condescending ones. The film is more interested in dealing with the intrinsic drama in these situations, like that of the gay Jews who decide to divorce themselves from their faith with the same forcefulness used against them.

The position taken by some of the gays and lesbians interviewed for the film is that this resistance gives purpose to their lives and provides a kind of reverse passion. What the picture needs is a little of what keeps them going -- the release offered by walking away from the strictures of the faith and from the harsh rejection they suffer from their families.

But that's not to say that ''Trembling'' is one-sided or simple-minded. Mr. DuBowski's camera subjects constitute a worldwide sampling taking up both sides of the argument; this kind of raw debate isn't limited to the United States or Israel.

The film's true sadness comes when a therapist, Shlomo Ashkinazy, explains the separatism that has kept such an anti-homosexual stance alive in Orthodox Judaism, even more than the dictum that men and women are to couple primarily to procreate. And after hearing the views of many fundamentalist Christians, it's obvious that strong views against homosexuals are not limited to Orthodox Judaism.

The fine and powerful ''Trembling Before G-d'' has gained a whole new urgency and purpose since its screening at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2001. The subtlety of the pressure on David -- the advice given, implying that the necessity to change is easy -- is what adds a much deeper undercurrent of tragedy to this unforgettable picture. ~ Elvis Mitchell

This enthralling award-winning film by internationally-acclaimed director Eytan Fox explores the motives, strengths, and, ultimately, the humanity of an Israeli assassin sent to rectify a wrong committed five decades earlier. Eyal is a top assassin in the Israeli secret service. He has killed terrorists before, but this time he is sent to eliminate a frail and elderly former Nazi war criminal Alfred Himmelman (Ernest Lenart). During his mission, Eyal meets his target’s granddaughter and gay grandson Pia and Alex Himmelman, who inadvertently help him uncover his own troubled history and face his own demons, while they discover the ugly truth that their family has hidden from them for decades.

What began as a straightforward mission, has suddenly escalated in intensity and complexity – thrusting three very different people into a thrilling triangle of murder, friendship and fate. 'Walk on Water' grapples with racial prejudice and homophobia without once seeming preachy; surprisingly, the spy storyline introduces these issues naturally, as Eyal's hostility towards Arabs and his blithe view of Nazi war criminals are central to his character. Eyal faces the crumbling foundation of his passive homophobia as he finds himself in an evolving , complex and intimate relationship with gay Axel.

The sexy actor Yousef "Joe" Sweid who portrays Rafik, Axel Himmelman' s (Knut Berger) gay Palestinian friend in this film goes on to star as the Palestinian lover of an Israeli army reserve officer in the 2006 smash hit film "The Bubble", also directed by Eytan Fox.
