I Dreamt Under the Water
The quality of photography by Hormoz stands out, His direction a match for the full bodied story co-written by Philippe Arrizabalaga. Hubert Benhamdine the main protagonist is on cam prob 98% of the film, uncompromising, honest and that ends my review - there’s not too much ..I want to give away [sure to shock some]..simple story well executed, get the dvd.
The movie’s poster looks impressive.shows a scene et le raison d’etre…

Jean is young, gay, and promiscuous. Only after he meets one or two women, including Laura does he come to realize his bisexuality. Cyril Collard wrote, directed and starred in the film and won a Best First Film at the Césars in 1993. One of four Césars. What a year.
Cyril’s everything saturates the film, he and Romane Bohringer stand out. It won Césars in Best Film, Best First Film, Best Film Editing, and Best Female Newcomer – Romane Bohringer.
Cyril singing Là-bas (down there).
As well as the dvd of the movie [click image above], there’s what looks like an interesting board book of it.
Cyril died three days prior to the Césars cermony in 1993. More on wikipedia.

Another great South American and Argentinian film, I think many of my straight pals would remark favourably on it post view, It’s basically a three piece, in that of a strong direction and two (in the main great, though there are more than two actors in the movie) actors. The director Marco Berger[and below) also wrote it and his two fine actors, Carlos Echevarría who plays coach Sebastián and Javier De Pietro as Martin put in faultless acting. Marco elicted equally fine performances in his previous movie, Plan B.
The photo in this post is suggestive, as is the film, though you would be incorrect in what assumption. Watch the movie and you'll understand...and in all likelihood will want to watch it again. Marco Berger also directed Plan B

Dear Vimeo stop having such great shorts. I need not be tempted to post anymore than I really have to 
So, Man at the Counter is a story about life, love, and sugar packets. (Have hankies on hand.) Quality acting from Ian Hyland, Bill McHugh and Tom (Yummy) Everett Scott. Brian McAllister’s beautifully interpretation of Rebecca Sue Haber’s poetic script.

So, a movie set in Buenos Aires. If you are familiar to the pre 2013 aindreas.com you know this is kinda a repost. I plan on doing more of same of my favourites.
Apartment Zero is one I only saw recently. Does Buenos Aires well, reminds me of Colm Tóibín
Alors que Buenos Aires sort de la dictature, Adrian Leduc, jeune dandy couvert de dettes, est contraint de partager son appartement avec un autre locataire. Il s’agit du charmant Jack Carney très vite apprécié des autres locataires, à la différence d’Adrian. Leur relation ambiguë va peu à peu se transformer en amitié,
Interesting movie that passed me by on it’s original release – I lived in Paris at the time which might explain it. Great story, Hart Bochner

Leo’s Room ( El cuarto de Leo), a movie for your classic gay film library.

Leo runs into Caro, a childhood school friend. The casual re-encounter is observed as are other interludes in Leo’s life in the city, and I guess you could say he stands at a cross roads. Directed by Uruguayan, a fine debutant Enrique Buchichio, with this his first film impressed no less than Variety), he shows a thoughful calm observant eye for Martín Rodríguez as Leo.

I live in Dublin, quiet close to the city centre in a cottage that is roughly a hundred and ten years old. It’s gone through a few renovations in that time, though not as many as I would expect. I want to renovate it.
Photo (c) Australian Design Awards of Atticus & Milo for Huntingtower wining entry way back in 2012. I like the height, drawers (in my mind they’re drawers) and shelves.
Besides, my house is tiny, think small apartment size. So I have been looking into renovating a la Tokyo or Dutch style. Am not a fan of Dutch tiny hotel rooms, though like their ability to not go conventional but to go practical in design. This Bauhaus peut-être thinking is even evident in Ireland, my bro has an apartment in a converted convent complex that Dutch city planners decided to copy cm by cm. The bonus about a house versus an apartment renovation is I can play with height. I plan on excavating downwards. The vimeo below is super exciting, love his use of the two hidden single beds, the wc/ shower, but mostly am excited about how he got it off the ground. He ran a crowdsouce competition on designing the apartment, won by two Romanian students. Exciting times ahead!

Did I mention I rate James Franco, or rather Jamie. It’s his movie titles. Interior. Leather. Bar is Jamie & Val Lauren‘s second film [preciously having worked on Sal]
Pic: of Val Lauren (c) interiorleatherbar
“In order to avoid an X rating, 40 minutes of gay S&M footage was rumored to be cut and destroyed from the 1980 film, “Cruising.” Inspired by the mythology of this controversial film, filmmakers James Franco and Travis Mathews collaborate to imagine their own lost footage.
Amid the backdrop of a frenzied film set actor Val Lauren reluctantly agrees to take the lead in the film. Val is repeatedly forced to negotiate his boundaries during scenes on and “off camera,” as unsimulated gay sex happens around him. The film itself is constructed as a play with boundaries remaining queer in subject and form. As much a film about filmmaking as it is about an exploration of sexual and creative freedom, “Interior. Leather Bar.” defies easy categorization.” ref press notes interiorleatherbar
Jamie has two three films on show at Sundance 2012: Kink, and Interior. Leather. Bar & acts in Lovelace. I can see kids doing a thesis on what his (two produced) ones mean. Anyhow, to me it means two more interesting quirks from the ride that is Jamie Franco. I’ll call him Jamie as I’ve being writing up on ole Jamie forever. More than forever. Like it must be two years. I think his next project should be to go back and give us a hyper homoerotic Spiderman.
Photo: (c) Kinkdoc, Ricky Cole Jamie & Co.[director Christina Voro & Ian Olds], lift the “curtain on the fetish empire of Kink.com, the Internet’s largest producer of BDSM content.” I now know what BDSM is. Bloody heck, if you’ve gonna ever watch a film or documentary on it’s largest producer… still I don’t get it. But since the early days of film, much drivel and worse guises as entertainment. I’m open to a doc on bdsm in that at least it’s not pretending to be anything else, you get what it says on the tin by the looks of it.
“In kink, we discover not only a fascinating and often misunderstood subculture, but also, in a career far from the mainstream, a group of intelligent, charismatic, and driven people who really, truly love what they do.”
