Boy Culture

A male prostitute with the enigmatic name of X (Derek Magyar) carefully avoids personal intimacy and affection, and is only interested in sex when he's being paid for it. X maintains his stoic approach to sex and love until one of his regular customers (Patrick Bauchau) tempts him to reconsider his position by sharing a meaningful story. Director Q. Allan Brocka premiered his unconventional love story at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.

This film was REALLY good, which was unexpected at some degree. Flawless performances (the two strongest by Derek Magyar and Patrick Bauchau), intriguing storyline and multi-leveled characters are the elements that compile this wonderful movie. It definately isn't your typical gay film, because it walks down different paths than most films of the genre. It is true and honest, it doesn't bargain, it doesn't follow the status quo, it's smart and funny. A great movie and one of the greatest gay films I have seen the last few years.
