Harman's film information

The main plot of Men's Desire Paradise is similar to that of the Chinese mainland movie Bath, which is caused by the hero from other places being forced to take over the bathhouse. However, Zhang Yang's Bath has no homosexuality, pays attention to the description of ethical affection, is too nostalgic and sad, and has a small pattern.

"Men's Paradise" moved the story to Turkey on the border of Europe and Asia, and the mixed culture of race, religion and sex was shrouded in a fog. It is indeed full of metaphors and visual images, which is expected. Unfortunately, Italian director Oates Peske just played it down and didn't intend to dig deep. The theme of "Men's Desire Paradise" is vague and sloppy, and the director is a little careless, expressing the shyness and implication of awakening, which makes the film sometimes look like a tourist scenery film, leisurely and carefree, and sometimes full of sexual entanglements between men and women, which is quite suspenseful. When I watched this movie, I couldn't help thinking that if it was shot by young bertolucci, it would be completely different.

This Italian film, shot in Turkey, was completed in 1996, and it is very popular and famous at gay film festivals in the United States and around the world. It's understandable for the publisher to promote this movie as a gay movie, but if you look at the naked backs of two men on the poster and the implied advertisement "His inheritance is sexual awakening", you think you will see a group of muscular men meet naked in the public bathroom, which is all wet. In fact, "Men Longing for Heaven" is about a man (the hero) and two women (the old man and the young wife) who are 30 years apart in the process of pursuing dreamland. It is full of nostalgia and literature. The gay angle is just "hitchhiking", which is not hardcore at all, but very gentle and friendly. So far, even mouth-to-mouth kissing is "borrowed" and the camera has not taken it directly.

This is the first feature film directed by Oates Peske. His advantage is that his technique is unpretentious. Obviously, he is very familiar with and respects Turkish culture, and he does not regard Istanbul as a tourist's curiosity. From street seascape, wine and delicacies to belly dancing and boy circumcision, it is full of wonderful and cordial interests. The audience who have seen "Men's Paradise" probably can't help but want to visit Istanbul.
