From the Heart - Passionate Gay Classics (2004)

Three films with gay/lesbian narratives are featured here, including:

BEDROOMS AND HALLWAYS: Rose Troche's (GO FISH) second film delivers a sly, sophisticated examination of love amongst young urbanites--in all of its unexpected forms and permutations. At the center of this comedic affair are roommates Leo (McKidd) and Darren (Hollander), two young Londoners struggling to find Mr. Right. While Darren becomes involved with a libidinous but closeted real-estate agent, Leo, on the advice of a friend, joins a hilariously depicted New-Age Men's Group, where he falls in love with a dashing Irishman (Purefoy) struggling to cope with his separation from his longtime girlfriend. Anything goes in this witty Noel Coward-inspired romp.

PARTING GLANCES: The gay scene in Manhattan is the setting for this contemporary love story revolving around a book editor, his friend and former lover who is dying from AIDS, and his current lover. All are just trying to get through life the best that they can.

TO DIE FOR: The widowed lover of a drag queen who died of AIDS puts all his energy and grief into full-time bachelor cruising until his lover's ghost comes back and starts playing tricks on his tricks. A British comedy.
