Postcards from London Movie Reviews
Doesn’t stimulate the senses you might expect it to….
This is one of those films that I felt really, really, belonged on a stage. The moody, sometimes seedily provocative settings; the occasionally jazzy soundtrack; a lighting and a visual style very much shot from a POV (even peeping) perspective all create an intimacy that falls a bit flat on the screen, but could work far better in a theatrical setting using our own naked eye. I’m genuinely convinced that Harris Dickinson is going to amount to something as an actor. Regardless as to whether you think this is surreal nonsense, or something altogether more ethereal, there is no denying that for a young, straight, man, Dickinson has a self confidence and honesty about his acting that really cuts through. Ostensibly about a group of sophisticated rent boys – or “raconteurs” as they prefer, this is not in any way seedy. It’s seductive – even teasing at times, but it isn’t about sex; even sex workers. It’s about this young man using art as a (slightly contrived) conduit for his aspirations for friendship, acceptance and of his determination to do what he needs to do when he needs to do it – but not to allow that behaviour or attitude to become habitual or toxic. The story, insofar as it actually matters, is poor though, almost irrelevant. The film is presented as a disjointed collection of instalments that don’t really deliver on any level; the overall narrative is just a bit too fanciful and boy, can it be slow at times. Indeed, it’s not a very good film, this – the stuff of a vivid imagination that would take someone of greater experience than auteur Steve McLean to hone it into better shape – but flawed as it undoubtedly is, it’s a visually compelling series of mini-stories held together well by a man not afraid to push his boundaries and show us he can act.
Rent Boys
Mentioned frequently in this film, Caravaggio, the early 1600s painter, who mastered (?) the use of realistic frozen poses (as if a moment caught with a flash or strobe) combined with extreme use of light & shadow so too does this film follow the same style. A surreal, obscurest, artsy following of some gay “rent boys” as they fashion their craft, and a newbie just arrived in London to discover/pursue his dreams. Not sure where this film goes, or the degree of understanding, but a worthy watch. Note: The writer/director created a slightly similar film 25 years ago called “Postcards from America”.
Not worth renting
I love the films of Rohmer, of Anne Fontaine and quite a lot of good Queer Cinema. What I do not like are narcissistic films about so-called intellectual rent boys who go on and on about artists, writers etc and rake in the money from elderly men who want ‘ artistic ‘ stimulation. All this boils down to begging from the young something these men once had, or never had but want. The focus of attention in this film is a very boring youth who suffers from Stendhal Syndrome which poses a bit of a problem when he sees too much beauty. The dialogue is terrible, the music annoying and I wondered more than once what Derek Jarman would have thought of this. In fact the whole feel of the film feels like the 80’s including a ridiculous Soho and a highly improbable group of sexually ambiguous young men. And what annoys me most is that Gay men will fork out their money for watching this. I urge anyone who is tempted by this coy film to get ‘ Sauvage ‘ and to watch a truly great film with a truly great actor in the lead. One of the worst and most pretentious films I have ever seen.
