Alexandros Avranas makes a cooly appealing feature in #Venice2024 #orizzonti . My review for 'Quiet Life' https://t.co/jWUjvkfK3t

Discovered that currently streaming on Tubi is Queers, a BBC special with a host of actors monologuing about queer experiences throughout many decades of British history. Obviously I’m partial to the one with Ben Whishaw as a WWI soldier speaking about repressed gay yearning.

PRIDE

[Vassilis Kroustallis @vkroustallis]

Andrew Scott playing a Welsh gay guy in the 1980s in the all-star cast of Pride (2014, Matthew Warchus), a feel-good LGBTQ+ solidarity film that feels good #pridemonth #minersstrike #thatcher

[Vassilis Kroustallis @vkroustallis]

Andrew Scott did it -again

[Cinema Solace @SolaceCinema]

Andrew Scott joins the cast of ‘Knives Out 3’ starring Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny.

[Vassilis Kroustallis @vkroustallis]

@NextBestPicture @janusfilms @asideshowfilm It is an accomplished film. People should watch his previous 'Away' film as well

Happy to see that. A totally consistent indie filmmaker.

Liked this first, LGBTQ+ driven, and empathetic feature by Antoine Chevrollier, premiering at #cannes2024 #Semainedelacritique. Some well-rounded characters

Caught up (finally) with Marco Berger's steamy The Blonde One (Un Rubio), and it reveals a well-crafted account of a gay/non-gay relationship between it's innuendos and repetitions. Yes, the steamy scenes also light up the movie #lgbtfilms

[Vassilis Kroustallis @vkroustallis]

Agree with Olivier Assayas on everything but the 'little forgotten' part #LuchinoVisconti

[Vassilis Kroustallis @vkroustallis]

Ι remember it as joyful and poignant as ever. Good to have it back

Garbo doesn't have a very good ending at the'Flesh and the Devil', but she managed to have a good few smokes -in this otherwise very homosocial/homoerotic film #clarencebrown #gretagarbo
