He Loves Me
Roger Walker-Dack READ TIME: 1 MIN.
This somewhat surprising Greek/LGBT film has no dialogue and very little in the way of plot, but it's a poetic and a sensuous account of a relationship that is trying to survive.
In "He Loves Me," two young men leave the city and hitchhike to a deserted beach on the isle of Crete, hoping that the peaceful and serene surroundings will allow them to heal their fractured relationship.
Their thoughts are revealed to us by a narrator who reveals their muddled hope that a summer of bliss can be the answer to their problems. Though they have fallen in love, they now discover they cannot handle what that entails. Played by real-life lovers Hermes Pittakos and Sanuye Shoteka, and presumably based on their own life, the movie features a great deal of nudity and sexual intimacy, which adds to its authenticity.
Directed by Konstantinos Menelaou (and this is his Uncut Director's Cut), this is hardly the usual type of LGBT feature film. "He Loves Me" will appeal to romantic souls who love to question everything.
