As Goran Stolevski’s second feature is released, the director talks about why queerness is “just so much hotter and sexier than anything a straight person might experience in life”
is a gay love story because it involves two cisgender men. But on a deeper one, it feels thrillingly queer because of the way their attraction manifests – with tacit glances, careful queer coding and tentative gestures. “So many depictions of queerness set in a time that wasn’t welcoming to [homosexuality] concentrate on the trauma and conflict,” says Stovleskli. “And with that oppression and alienation comes a very specific kind of loneliness.
The film’s final section is set 11 years later, in 2010; it plays out with heartbreaking, devastating specificity. However, Stolevski believes this story also has universal resonance. “screened at last year’s Melbourne International Film Festival, I had a lot of gay men coming up to me to say I had captured their story,” he says. “But I also had women of all ages – straight, queer, everything in between – telling me the same thing.
