An emotionally and sexually charged journey through the love, addiction, and friendship of two men. Documentary filmmaker Erik and closeted lawyer Paul meet through a casual encounter, but they find a deeper connection and become a couple. Individually and together, they are risk takers—compulsive, and fueled by drugs and sex. In an almost decade-long relationship defined by highs, lows, and dysfunctional patterns, Erik struggles to negotiate his own boundaries and dignity and to be true to himself.

When you summon memories of this film, they are almost always of two men in a room, in a default state of discontent.

A complex and mysterious tale of a love affair, one that lacks the tidy story arc of a movie but feels real.

The cast, uniformly excellent, draws us into a vibrant, energetic Manhattan where commitments are forged and broken through sheer chance and those seeking permanence must continually resist temptation and ennui.

fresh:
This is a painful drama, but its pain is more studied than emotive, and it demands that we think just as much as it makes us feel.
