Rental Rec

(As opposed to rent-a-wreck, which is altogether different.)

Odds are that if you are reading this, you should go, now, and beg, borrow, rent or buy yourself a copy of a film called Bent.

It has the best m/m kiss I've ever seen in film, and one of the hottest sex scenes I've ever seen in any context -- the latter despite the fact that the two participants aren't even touching.

It's an excellent film for reasons beyond those, though it's also disturbing and downright difficult to watch at times; it takes place in Germany (mostly Berlin and Dachau) during the Nazi era.

There are also splendid brief appearances (too substantial to be written off as "cameos") by Mick Jagger (in drag and giving a musical performance very much evocative of his old friend David Bowie) and Sir Ian McKellen.

What are you doing still reading? GO! Get a copy of Bent!
