Website title:

I know that Emil hasn't seen it...but I have.

It is indeed a love story, but so much more.

Two men find that first internalizing their love for each other in their circumstances (the time and place, the south during the 50s simply didn't allow it) is impossible, and then decades later when they finally start to overcome their denial, they are still not able to be together.

It is truly a depressing story. I thought about it on several occasions after watching it... very very sad, but excellent at the same time.

Would it be asking the wrong thing to get your perspective on the film? Does it ring true with you? I`ve heard people say it`s "just" a love story and only an incidental aspect of it that it happens to be a love story of two men...do you see it that way?
