Product Description

Lake is young. He's sexy. He's in the prime of his life...and he's attracted to older men. Perfect, then, that he lands himself a job as a care assistant at a local nursing home. When he meets the charming, flamboyant Melvyn they strike up an unlikely friendship. One that deepens considerably after the two 'break out' and head off on a eventful road trip. A festival hit the world over, Bruce La Bruce's unmissable Gerontophilia is arguably his boldest and most accomplished work to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars"I think there might be something wrong with me ..."
By schumann_bg TOP 50 REVIEWER on 20 Mar. 2015
Format: DVD
There are shades of Harold and Maude in this film about love across a huge age divide, but this one is played much more straight - while being much more gay. It is more radical as well, in that young Lake, an impossibly good-looking 18-year-old, seems attracted to elderly men in general, even though at the beginning of the film he has a girlfriend, an ardent feminist who looks like a young Stockard Channing. Perhaps she should take the huge portrait of Gandhi above his bed as a clue ... What could be sensationalist, however, is constantly undercut by humorous touches, so that life at the old people's home where he gets a summer job (by accident) is never drab. He doesn't waste much time getting into sexual shenanigans with one resident, before getting involved with Melvyn Peabody. A lot hangs on this actor and he really pulls it off, having some quite special poise and embodying a sense of ageing as a ripening. There's also a kind nurse who seems to cotton on to what is going on, interrupting quite a boozy game of strip poker, but takes it all in her stride. This interruption, and what precedes it, are very funny. Lake has great skill as an artist, which is a useful way of getting us to see the elderly through his eyes. There is a certain amount of plot progression, leading to the film becoming a sort of road movie across Canada, and the script is constantly fresh, ironic, and somehow heartfelt. It is the maraschino cherry on the top of this particular cupcake, and gives rise to one of the most surprising films from Bruce LaBruce, a director who has rarely sounded such a gentle note as he does here.

4.0 out of 5 starsLove across the generational divide.
By Tommy Dooley TOP 100 REVIEWER on 10 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD
Film maker Bruce La Bruce has always courted controversy and along the way made some very interesting films and I am glad to say he has kept that up with his latest offering. This tells the story of Lake who starts to find he is attracted to older men. He has a very nice girlfriend - Desiree- who is the same age as him, but something must be missing.

Then his mum gets a job at an elderly persons care home and she offers him a summer job, which he takes to like a duck to water. Once there he also finds that a lot of the patients are being fed tranquilisers in order to keep them in a semi conscious state. He befriends one such man and soon Lake realises he is more than drawn to older men and he lets nature take its course.

Now there is some nudity in this film, but for Mr La Bruce it is positively restrained. What this film is when it is striped back is a love story plain and simple. There are very touching moments and some well observed humour too. The down sides are the plot holes that have been done for dramatic effect and so can be just about forgiven. The acting is all above average too and Pier-Gabriel Lajoie as Lake is very engaging and convincing in the role of the young man discovering `silver love'. A very different film and I am glad to have seen it; Bruce La Bruce continues to surprise and even though sometimes the surprises are not very nice I am grateful that he keeps trying.

3.0 out of 5 starsThe film had a great idea and considerable promise but failed
By SamMc. on 17 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD
The film had a great idea and considerable promise but failed, in the end, to deliver anything of any depth. The professional critics have praised it for being a warm hearted comedy ... it isn't. It has its moments but the comedy is rather lame, to say the least. The issues that could have been dealt with about a love affair across a very significant age gap are simply ignored. The boy's mother rants a bit and then he and his lover go off on a road trip. We don't really get involved with how either the boy or the old man feel about their relationship, which is a missed opportunity to explore some very real issues. I wanted to know more about their thoughts, feelings ... the way they saw their relationship. Instead, we got the boy being jealous because the old man flirts with a young guy in a gay bar and the old man shrugs. Er ... yes? Is that the comedy? Perhaps, in the end, the film was caught between comedy and exploration and failed to deliver either.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn adoring couple! A tender and moving film.
By Gerard de Bruine on 6 Sept. 2014
Format: DVD
A Canadian film about Lake, a boy of 18 who has a girlfriend, but lately is attracted by old men. He get's work in an old peoples home, where he meets mr. Peabody. He falls instantly in love wirh mr. Peabody The love they have for each other gets exciting!
For me a fresh look at the relation between younger people and older people. A fresh and new look with one tool: love and understanding for each other, no matter what age, colour or gender. Not Always superbly acted, but just moving and gentle to watch. I just adored the couple! I can recommend this movie, it's worth buying and watching.

5.0 out of 5 starslove has no boundaries
By cartoon on 17 Aug. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Bruce la Bruce is certainly changing , this is a mellow , gentle , romantic and thoughtful film. It really makes you think about the sterotypes of age and how often the elderly are trivialised , treated like children and no longer allowed to be the sexual beings of their youth. This isn't always an easy film to watch and yet I really enjoyed the boundaries that are pushed. Think it may appeal to a Shortbus/ Sideways / Station agent crowd more than the 18 gay certificate suggests.

It's sensual it's funny and makes a change from ''the young gay cutie falls in love with the young gay cutie'' that appears to be the norm in a lot of gay films. Well worth watching.
