Two and One

This film is a love story in the truest sense, and there are very few of those around at present as good as this. That it deals with a homosexual relationship may mean sadly it may not reach the wide audience it deserves, and that in itself is a sad reflection of our society. It deals with sexual incompatibility and how two young men try to overcome this limitation. I do not want to give away spoilers, but I need to say that although it shows graphic depictions of how they choose to overcome this and be closer to each other it is never totally explicit, and the search for total fulfilment is portrayed with beauty and reticence. Miggy Jimenez plays Tino one of the men, and he is quite simply superb showing with every gesture the inner turmoil he is going through, and he deserves many accolades for his performance. The rest of the cast are excellent, but in my opinion, Jiminez is equal to James Dean and has the same raw ferocity and tenderness. The film lasts nearly two hours, and slowly unfolds and for those with short attention spans be patient. I have never seen a film about the complexities of loving equal to this in a long, long time. Great direction; great film. A well-deserved ten.
