The latest romp from Canada’s Bruce LaBruce features a washed up-porno star lounging in bed with a boy-toy while a devious dyke exploits them with her camera. In his funny, very sexy homage to male sex films and the men who made them, LaBruce has truly “come” into his own, constructing a hyperbolic, acidic pastiche of camp and sluttishness.

Inspired by the fictionalized autobiographical writings of poet/essayist/vidoemaker/performance artist David Wojnarwicz (who died of AIDS last year), the film knots together three stories from the life of a young gay outsider named David. The film follows David through his violent suburban childhood, his teen years as a hustler on the streets of New York, and finally explores his adulthood fascination with anonymous sex, the American desert and the open road.

Based on disturbing recent events in Canada and elsewhere, this gripping drama of moral darkness centers on the St. Vincent orphanage for boys. Avoiding docu-drama-of-the-week formulas, the film (which also scrupulously avoids homophobic inferences) explores troubling sadism and pedophilia, neither smothering this touchy material in tastefulness nor betraying it through sensationalism.
