An irreverent and refreshing take on the queer world of sex, lust and unrequited love. Lanky, blue haired Jackson, record store employee and poet, is in love with most of the men in his life! A refreshing departure from the typical gay love story, LUSTER is a raw and darkly comic look at young punks in love.

This week’s queer film, written and directed by Everett Lewis, got a mixed reception from critics on its release, with the negative comments focusing on its lack of a plot, its large number of characters who come and go without much development, and from its straight critics in particular, concern about the gay S&M subplot. All of the things they saw as negatives though were very conscious choices made by the director to sketch out a particular subset of queer LA.
I was a little surprised by the criticism of its structure because it slots neatly into the New Queer Cinema movement, particularly the films in Gregg Araki’s Teenage Apocalypse trilogy made in 1993-97. That comparison with Araki flows through…
"Look, um, you wanna give me a blowjob?"
"No, you're not famous enough."
I could not tell you what's going on here because all these white punks in dark rooms look alike. But I did find Jackson cute because he's a punk that falls in love easily. I mean, one look and he loves you. And approximately 10 other men that day. But he doesn't want straight-laced gay until he eventually does because, love, man. Or rather, like, man. So so weird overall, but I liked the film's sly sense of humor both in personalities and in the natural bond with the cast. Willie Garson as a sex (and darkness) obsessed rock star is maybe my favorite casting ever and…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
cool film, good vibes, also incest
Very mildly say "heck you!" to the MAN with Gargus and Adept in this entry of our Queer Cinema Challenge 2018! For week 35, we watched a queercore film!
Well, queercore adjacent might be more accurate. Luster reminds me a lot of more mainstream punk fare that wants to earn cool points for setting itself around the grungy, seedy parts of the LA scene without embodying any of the aggressive attitude or unique philosophical/political viewpoints that define so much of punk culture. There's something admirable in making a film without any major funding and casting queer actors with some ties to the punk movement... but we're a far, far ways away from Repo Man's genuine homemade look and brazen "fuck…

So funny that this gay guy was just like "what if I remade Totally Fucked-Up, but like, dumber and with Stanford from sex and the city?"
"You're not really my type of guy, you're too normal, too boring"
oh Dennis we're really in it now
Wasn't really sure what to expect out of this, and it definitely still turned out to be kinda weird! Not exactly a whole lot of stuff going on with the plot and certainly not the most well-made movie, although some of the sound effects were quite a thing and those apartment doors were absolutely some of the same siege tank sound effects as in StarCraft, but like usual for me with these challenges it's just nice to see queer relationships just being queer relationships. Not that this movie was a good example for how to do relationships, but just sorta cool to see a trashy, sex-filled movie be gay instead of just have nothing but het romances, and so I…
Da una nueva perspectiva sobre la homosexualidad vista desde dentro de este mundo, llena de complejos, amor y poesía. El protagonista es un skater 'underground' bastante cínico y con un pensamiento muy profundo.
It feels like someone from wattpad wrote this. Did I like it? Kinda? The only reason I wanted to watch this film was because of Norman Reedus. But umm a lot of hot guys ig.
