Gay Film: Boystown
November 18, 2008
Release date: November 17 2008
Reminiscent of the outrageous early films of Pedro Almodóvar, this ebullient farce is a smorgasbord of hot men and raucous comedy – with a sassy Spanish flavour! Chilselled Victor is a real estate agent in Madrid’s expanding, candy-colored “boystown” who hides a deadly secret – he murders old ladies then flips their flats to gorgeous upwardly-mobile men in a bid to create the perfect “gaybourhood”. When bearish couple, Rey and Leo, inherit the latest victim’s abode, they move Rey’s potty-mouthed mother in but the aging diva doesn’t fit Victor’s vision of the ultimate gay paradise and now it’s up to an eccentric detective and her sexually confused son to uncover the killer.
A huge hit at the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, BOYSTOWN is a hilariously seductive black comedy which is sure to be snapped up when it sets up home on DVD this Autumn!
