| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Emotional backstories of anonymous sexual encounters |
| Like a gay "La Ronde", "Nine Lives" (2004) follows nine individuals in a string (actually, it's a circle) of anonymous gay sexual encounters of a diverse group of individuals. The sex actually is secondary to the obvious emotional baggage of the people involved, based on past and concurrent relationships in their lives, dissatisfaction with the curves that life has thrown them, all leading to a disconnected and potentially dangerous (physically and mentally) need for such encounters.
The cast is much more professional than one would expect from a (primarily) gay film, and includes Golden Globe winner Dennis Christopher ("Breaking Away") as well as several other actors with significant credits, including screenwriters Michael Kearns and Dean Howell (Howell also directs). The skill of the acting makes the film much more engrossing than it would be in the hands of a less talented cast. The technique of the characters talking directly to the audience, explaining their feelings, works well in this context. DVD extras include a deleted scene, outtakes and commentaries. Not rated, but would be a hard "R" due to content, language, numerous scenes of simulated sex and some partial nudity. I give the film four stars out of five. |
