MCT:August 17, 2008An effeminite man and a political rebel are placed in the same South American prison cell. The gay man spends the time telling the story of a movie he once saw and loved. An intriguing tale is woven both in the movie and in the gay man's stories!

MCT:August 15, 2008A wonderful little movie, filled with great acting; William Hurt deservedly won his first (and to date, only) Oscar for his performance.

Yillar once izlemistim. William Hurt'un en iyi performansi diyebilirim. Tekrar izlemek istiyorum ama iyi bir release bir de Turkce alt yazisi olsa!.. :(

A wonderful, heartbreaking movie. I bought this on video as a pretentious mid-teenager and I still love it as a pretentious thirtysomething. Perhaps not the greatest prison movie ever made but surely the most moving. William Hurt and Raul Julia are simply magnificent as polar opposites who strike up an unlikely friendship in a Latin American prison cell: the former a homosexual caught soliciting a minor, the latter an angry and torture-weary political prisoner. The final scene, which plays out as the credits roll, is so beautiful, yet bittersweet because we know the escape from pain is both illusory and only temporary.

MCT:February 11, 2008I have seen this first in a play. It was interestingly hilarious.
Many years after, I got the chance to see the film and I could not believe how even more interesting the original story is.
The actors were 2 of my many favorites and they were perfect. I particularly like the concept. Its a battle between so many different things. Contrasts between different issues. -

Set off in some Latin prison this movie is fantastic. An anything but unassuming white homosexual delicately nurturing and caring for a freshly beaten gorilla rebel intertwine with a sexual tension that bleeds thru each others thoughts and actions. a love story, suspense bound and ploted very very well 10 thumbs up . Ya gotta see it.

Another play-on-film, but I love it. Hurt is incredible, sensitive and natural in his ground-breaking role. Worth seeing.

This is a very engaging tale about two men who become lovers while sharing a prison cell together. the catch here is one is straight and the other is a spy.

A heart warming film about 2 lost souls that happen to meet together in a cramp cell. Nothing gay about the show. It's just two men who made use of their time to share about what goes on in each one's life.
