CGiii Comment
Crammed with imagination - but, alas the execution is poor - budget constraints.
It does get a little tedious at times and the Irish actor deserves a slap for incompetency.
There is a definitve courting of controversy but this cannot be construed as global - it is centred within Canadian politics which will alienate many people - a weakness amplified by the amateur production values and acting.
It may have been preferable as a straight (almost academic) documentary without the amateur dramatics.
Definitely worth a look - Greyson has excelled in research and imagination...BUT, since he is a lecturer in film production, you can only shake your head at this meagre (and annoying) visualisation - which really does become too stupid by the end.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
The story is about three gay men named Peter - one, Cort, is writing the book about male circumcision, another, Koosens, is transcribing that book in a typing agency and is obsessed with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to the degree that draws attention of police officer. Third Peter, Denham, seduces the first two in succession and after that betrays them...
