Shane (Michael Legge) is a lost and lonely
20-year-old civil servant from the 'burbs; he's adorably hetero and has
no sense of style. His new roommate in the big city is Victor (Allen Leech),
a hot, young fashion student who's queer, full of life, surrounded by friends
and able to pick up a hot daddy in 10 seconds. For Shane, Victor unlocks
buried artistic dreams and a burning need to embrace the adventure of youth.
For Victor, Shane is, well, a makeover project, inside and out think
"Queer Eye for the Irish Guy." Writer/director David Gleeson's
vision of this friendship refreshingly transcends all that we've come to
expect from a gay-straight relationship onscreen. The warmth and youthful
optimism that emerge from this duo is positively infectious, and both stars
effortlessly bring to life one of the rarest kinds of love. Not rated. 2003,
Ireland, 89 min., 35mm.
