From The Heart - Passionate Gay Classics

Bedrooms & Hallways:

Director Rose Troche (Go Fish) and a cast of talented actors including Kevin McKidd (Trainspotting), Simon Callow (Shakespeare In Love, Four Weddings and a Funeral), Jennifer Ehle (TV´s Pride and Prejudice), and Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert) have created a refreshing and thoroughly charming film that examines the trials and tribulations of lust and love.

Parting Glances:

Heroic, funny and romantic, Parting Glances is a triumph for everyone who has ever been in love -- straight or gay.

Their best friend Nick, who is also Michael´s former lover, is dying of AIDS. So begins a surprisingly funny, wonderfully acted love story set in the gay scene of Manhattan.

Parting Glances, a pioneering film of gay cinema, is about the loyalties of friendship and the vicissitudes of romantic love. It´s about the relationships between gays and straights. And it´s about how we all try to do our jobs, be there for our friends and keep a love affair going -- all at the same time.
