Out Austin | ALGPC

Here on this page, you’ll find – you’ve guessed it – even more gay-themed films.

Don’t let the title fool you – this is not a documentary about bathhouses. Instead, it’s a love story centered on an Italian businessmen, Francesco, who on business in Istanbul looking after his late aunt’s estate (the Turkish bath of the title) meets – and falls in love with – a Turkish youth, Mehmet. An all-too-rare glimpse into homosexuality in Turkish culture. Directed by Ferzan Özpetek (HIS SECRET LIFE, FACING WINDOWS).

This French telefilm ‘Juste une question d’amour’ is a sensitive, unbiased examinations of how the ‘coming out’ of gay men impacts those that are doing the coming out, but also friends and family.

This Hitchcockian thriller is a nice companion piece to Paul Verhoeven’s THE FOURTH MAN. In this film, which is set in modern day Buenos Aires, Adrian (played by Colin Firth) is a lonely sociopath with strong mother’s fixation. Jack (played by Hart Bochner) is the mysterious man that rents a room from Adrian, who slowly discovers that he’s developing feelings for the new tenant, and said new tenant is hiding something. The twisted movie has it all – deceit, perversion and murder – and is an effective, creepy thriller that packs a satisfying punch of a shocking ending.
