Here at Cinehouse and The Peoples Movies we want to be as diversely rich in genres in film. One of the genres we would love to cover more of is LGBT cinema and our friends at Peccadillo Pictures provide us the perfect opporitunity to expand our coverage. HOLDING THE MAN which hits cinemas on 3 June and will also screen as part of POUTfest this summer and today we get our look at the film's UK trailer.
The course of teenage love rarely runs smooth, but this is especially true when you’re secretly gay in an Aussie all-male school in the 1970s and entranced by the captain of the football team.
A pair of star-crossed lovers, Tim and John meet when Tim is in a high-school production of Romeo and Juliet. The encounter ignites aromance that endures for 15 years to laugh in the face of everything life throws at it – the separations, the discriminations, the temptations, the jealousies and the losses.
Based on Timothy Conigrave’s cult-classic and hilarious memoir, and the inspiration for the award winning stage play also by Tommy Murphy, HOLDING THE MAN is the remarkable true-life love story that speaks across generations, sexualities and cultures.
The critically acclaimed Australian movie delivers some powerful cinematography and fantastic turns from the cast. A cast that includes Ryan Corr, Sarah Snook, Francesco Ferdinandi, Anthony LaPaglia, Guy Pearce, Kerry Fox, Geoffrey Rush.The film arrives in UK on 3rd June, we will have a review closer to release.
