I spent about an hour coming to terms with the staggering amount of The Gay involved in the fact Tom Ford had directed a film based on a Christopher Isherwood novel.

Otherwise, I thought the trailer looked very stylish but also incredibly prissy. Like everything else related to Tom Ford, really.

I was skeptical at first just because I assumed Tom Ford's ego would make the movie very self-absorbed and ******... he seems to feel everything he touches is pure gold... but from what I gathered, it got a very good reception at the Venice film festival. I don't know if I'll see it anytime soon, but it does look very interesting. Ford has a very clear, very definitive vision of elegance and what looks good on print/film... so even if the movie itself isn't great, I'm sure it will be excellent eye candy. As for teh ****... yeah, if anybody goes into a Ford film on Isherwood expecting Rambo First Blood... then I don't know what to tell you...

Of course, this would only include about 95% of SF members.

If your username is inspired by "Chips" Channon, he was into Nazi dudes kissing each other.

I almost went to see this last night at the Toronto film fest (but ended up seeing something else). It is an awful trailer.

Love the trailer, even if it does look like an perfume advertisement.

Either he's sexed up the book a whole lot or they just pulled the tastiest bits for the trailer.

As I recall the book, it's a day in the life of a So Cal community college prof, recent gay male widower. The prof remembers free n easy WWII time LA sex in his youth, but the present life is quieter.
