Not enough of y’all of talking about this weird homoerotic film from 1963
It’s based on a novella (of the same name) by Robin Maugham who Wikipedia describes as: “unashamedly homosexual”
Anyways the film: it’s about the power dynamics in relationships shown through the 4 characters and their entanglements. (The bulk of film is about a man and his man servant and two ladies who are also entangled in this affair? — that’s about where I lose the ability to explain what actually happens without spoilers.) but anyways look at this
Like guys the man hoisting the guy on the bed is the servant and the man on the bed is his employer… the power dynamics sure do shift in this house.
But also the film is gorgeous! From the first shot I’m was impressed with the visuals and the sense of dread that hits you in this film makes it feel like a horror film (which I guess it kinda is?)
Low-key wanna do a full plot break down because maybe then I’ll finally get my head around this movie
