This one has special, bittersweet memories for me. It was released in 1989, when dozens of young men were still dying every week in San Francisco. It only played in art house theaters, so I went to San Francisco to see it. I was enthralled and moved throughout, but when the final fantasy scene came...on the beach, imagining the day they found a cure, and somehow all those lost in the plague came back and hugged the ones that lost them....I dissolved in tears. In those dreadful, bleak days of the plague, we so badly needed film, theater, and books to help us process what we were experiencing. Not newspapers, and a President who wouldn't discuss it, and preachers saying we brought it on ourselves. Great film that is dear to my heart, like the plays Torch Song Trilogy and Angels in America. Thanks UV.
