5.0 out of 5 stars A Pioneering Gay Film before its time, 27 Jan 2004
This review is from: Parting Glances [DVD] [1986] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Parting Glances is one of my favourite ever gay films and all the more special because it is one of the first to tackle AIDS in a responsible and honest manner. Set as a day in the life of a gay couple in New York who are about to split up because one is moving with his job it involves a whole constellation of gay and lesbian characters and culminates in a farewell party. The thing that struck me most when I watched it first was that although many of the characters are recognisable gay types - none is a stereotype. And Steve Buscemi is very impressive in his first film role as a young new romantic/punk star dying of AIDS. In a roll call of gay films down the years this would have to be far and away my favourite.

Only a pity that the DVD is available in just Region 1

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly touching and beautiful film, 27 Jul 2003
By A Customer
I first saw this film when I was about 14 and at the time I was just awakening to the reality of my sexuality. This film I watched over and over again for years to come because at the time it was the only thing I could identify with. It is touching because of the relationships within the bizarre love triangle which end up causing a certain amount of friction and confusion aswell as an element of discovery for one of the characters.

The main high light of the film comes from the fact that it is a product of 80's downtown New York and the nostalgia and elements generated from this era are colourful, memorable and stunning. Set within 24 hours it portays the Breaking up of a relationship and the effect of Aids and the music and drugs on the scene at the time.

It is quite a simple film but one that has been overlooked somewhat. Everyone should see this film because it is both charming and entertaining and may even make you cry.
