Parting Glances screens again

Posted by Mona -

OutFest will once again screen the 1986 film Parting Glances on October 29, this time in New York’s Lincoln Center. This movie is absolutely brilliant, and if you can’t catch the screening I strongly recommend you track down the DVD. I had to watch it twice; the first time I kept getting lost in John Bolger’s dreamy eyes. The difference between Nick, Buscemi’s handsome and brooding rocker and any of the flaky, zany and nasty characters he’s played since is amazing. Considering how well he portrayed the part, though, there’s no surprise how in demand he became.

I was talking to a straight friend recently about “gay stuff,” telling him why I wasn’t going to see Chuck and Larry at the cineplex: I didn’t trust the movie to get it right.

Parting Glances gets it right.

A review of Parting Glances (quoted above) and an interview with Buscemi about working on the film, is available here. My screen captures of the entire movie are stored over at Flickr. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this movie is. You have got to see it.
