CGiii Comment

Shame that this documentary is filled with irrelevance, bad music and soundbites from tossers who do not matter.

Tom is, admittedly, a talented graphic artist who should have been allowed to tell his story without interruption - his subject-matter is now over, dated and irrelevant to most.

His audience was always small and, by now, practically non-existent.

What a great idea - make a documentary for a dwindling audience.

Tom of Finland is one of the gay world's few authentic icons. His drawings have had an enormous influence on gay identity. Tom's ultimate leather men are known and seen everywhere. They are symbols of gay pride and friendship. The documentary includes some titillating 'enactments' inspired by Tom's art work.
