CGiii Comment

Over-written unfortunately. Less words declaring passion when there's really no passion to be seen!

Just a too sterile...this had the potential to set many pulses a-racing. A missed opportunity! But...it sure does look good...apart from that dream sequence.

The(ir) Blurb...

Alex, a young artist of the Harlem Renaissance, flirts with the idea of bisexuality through posturing and conversations he has with his girlfriend, Melva, and his Bohemian mentor, Raymond. Then he meets Beauty, a Latin man who pursues Alex with poetry and fire, and the fun turns to earnest. The music of a concert performance breaks the floodgates of Alex's desires, and he finds himself torn between Melva and Beauty. Which one will he choose?
