Seen the movie Eastern Boys?

[+ DickyF]

It's on Netflix. About a 50ish Parisian man who solicits a young Ukranian guy at the Gard du Nord train station. It takes some very shocking twists.

Certainly is sobering! Is Gard du Nord a solicitation spot? After seeing this movie I will take a look next time I'm in Paris but will think a 1000 times before approaching any young man hanging out there. :-/

Thanks for heads-up, putting it on my list to view.

My one time in Paris in 1989, I arrived at the Gard du Nord. No one cruised me.

I caught it several weeks ago and thought it was quite good. Kirill Emelyanov is beautiful.

I, too, stumbled across this film and loved it. I also second NYClocker's comment about Kirill Emelyanov: He's absolutely beautiful.

I saw it a few months ago as well, one of the better gay movies on Netflix. The foreign ones all seem better than the American attempts.

Some other recommendations: Four Moons and The Way He Looks (formulaic, but a very sweet coming of age movie).

Saw Eastern Boys, and liked it too. Also agree Four Moons (Cuatro Lunas) is good. The only movie with subtitles I actually watched all the way through. I also recommend one of my favorites, Big Eden. Seen it a couple of times. Makes me laugh, makes me cry. Morgan was good too. There's another I saw on Netflix that I don't see available anymore. (Edit: Movie title is "Stranger by the Lake"). It's about a quiet beach that gay men visit daily, one of them very sinister. Watch it.

Thanks for the heads up; just bought a copy from iTunes.

 

BTW, here'a review (spoiler alert!) I found:

A pleasant movie (with some disturbing moments). Thanks for pointing it out.

[humboldt]

Very disturbing moments, indeed.

Very disturbing moments, indeed.

 

Thank you Humboldt, I also found parts very disturbing. (It should be a lesson for all of us, never give a stranger your home address. Just for starters.)
