Denis Lavant is a monolith of repression who self-destructs in Claire Denis’ loose adaptation of Herman Melville’s novella “Billy Budd.” He plays a French Foreign Legion Officer reminiscing about his time in Africa, uprooted by the arrival of an alluring recruit (Grégoire Colin), sowing jealousy and desire. A recent Janus Films restoration of this 1999 classic helps Agnès Godard’s sensuous cinematography pop, especially in the iconic last scene, a solo dance performed by Lavant to Corona’s ‘90s club favorite “Rhythm of the Night.”—RL Tim's mother, a housewife, forced herself to get a secretary job to support Tim and his siblings. She is now decaying in a nursing home, steps away from where she raised two children on her own. Viewers should be aware that these photos are viewed by a wide variety of folks . Inappropriate, RUDE, 'X' or 'R' rated comments shall be removed forthwith. Some of the reasons why the younger adult men pursued age-gap relationships included a preference for emotionally mature partners, finding older men physically attractive and a desire to learn from older men. Many of the younger adult men also found age-gap pairings sexually exciting and emotionally fulfilling and were drawn by the idea of having a mentor or role model in their partner. Whether gay or straight, age-gap relationships can involve a power difference. How did the men you spoke to navigate that?
For a few weeks, it's cozy and surreal to play the son of a man who's not my real father, especially when my real one lives across the country. It's actually a lot of fun to play pretend when you're 21. I throw myself into a distraction from the stressful rhythms of life in college. This whole thing is a ruse. He can't really be my dad. My skin is brown; his isn't. It's like Halloween. He's the daddy, I'm the son. It's our private game. Take out the equation of hitting the local bar or club scene, where finding suitors for gay dating over 49 begins to dwindle. You’re more mature, you’re sure of what you want, and you stand firm in your values. Now, you’re looking for something serious. You’re looking for the loving partner you deserve.The first entry in Deepa Mehta’s “Elements” trilogy, to be followed by “Earth and “Water,” broke ground and ignited protest in 1998 for being one of the few Bollywood movies to depict a queer relationship. The film centers on two Indian sisters-in-law, Sita (Nandita Das) and Radha (Shabana Azmi), who are chained in loveless, arranged marriages and in turn fall for each other. “Fire” hugely challenged middle-class, conservative society in the place that, for many audiences, it hit the most: home. — RL I expect my initial reaction to be one of righteous, youthful indignation—I've been orphaned, damn it!—but I feel fine. He doesn't know me well enough to strike me where it hurts, which is the kind of wound a real breakup hinges on. It was sure to fail, anyway, this cozy ballet of two people who didn't understand one another's pain. After it's over, I swear to myself that I'll never do anything that weird ever again. Many people think of a daddy as a desirable, confident older man who may be paired with a younger partner. The term has gained popularity in recent years, and while it is used in the context of heterosexual, gay or bisexual relationships, research across the Western world shows that age-gap relationships are far more prevalent among gay and bisexual men than any other group. I was interested in finding out why, and learning more about the older men who identify or are perceived as daddies, and what it means to them. I rather see everyone walking around in the nude , than everyone walking around with guns." --adda dada For many older men, it was also a point of pride and self-worth, as they felt that their age and experience made them more attractive and desirable to younger men.
In most cases, there was a sense of responsibility the older men felt to make sure they treated younger adult men with a particular care and made sure they didn’t disadvantage the younger adult man in any way. In contrast to what many people assume, I found little evidence of widespread power differences that harmed either the younger or older men. The photos are from different public events with many different adults from around the world attending. These photos do NOT imply the person's sexual orientation in any way. Everyone was asked and they consented to be photographed.I believe that as an adult it is my inalienable constitutional right to receive/view sexually explicit material; Summer of 85” channels the talky, beach-set films of Éric Rohmer but with a rebellious edge, hinging on the stolen-hours love affair between introverted teen Alex (Lefebvre) and the slightly older but hardly wiser David (Voisin), the square-jawed adonis who cuts a raffish figure on a motorcycle. The highs and lows of their summer fling collide in a sudden and mysterious tragedy foregrounded in the movie’s opening scenes, which makes the pair’s evolving connection, ignited by the actors’ volcanic chemistry, all the more suspenseful. Adapting Aidan Chambers’ 1982 novel “Dance on My Grave,” Ozon captures the intoxicating pull of first love, and the loss of control that can make a formative erotic bond so dangerous and addictive. The evocative filmmaking is matched by the charms of its leads, who, in case you needed another selling point, enact one of the hottest guy-on-guy kisses ever thrown onscreen. —RL In my mind, he is muscular. He acts "macho," like Tim, not effete. His voice is more full-throated than Tim's, which is gentle and concerned. Maybe he has red hair like Tim. Maybe it's blonde. I don't know how the genetics of red hair work. He doesn't have piercings like Tim. Maybe he's still alive, dating much younger women like his son once dated much younger men. Maybe someone's taking care of him, or maybe he's learned how to take care of himself. Maybe he's died. Maybe he died alone.
He gestures at his muscles and large chest. I get it now. While his dad was away, Tim sculpted himself into a vision of fatherhood he never saw firsthand: a sturdy Schwarzenegger frame with the heart of Dustin Hoffman. Sebastián Lelio’s 2017 “A Fantastic Woman” put the Chilean filmmaker on the map when it won the Academy Award for what was then known as Best Foreign Language Film. Starring Daniela Vega, it’s also a radical story about a transgender woman, named Marina, who bravely stands up to overbearing scrutiny from her recently dead partner’s surviving family members, who insist they don’t owe her anything. “A Fantastic Woman” proved instrumental in Chile in lifting entrenched discrimination against trans people, and has also made Vega one of the most influential trans women in the world. — RL A good rule in dating, as in life, is to do to others as you wish them to do to you. Just because it’s online dating doesn’t make it ok to be disrespectful. Reply to messages, even if it’s to say you’re not interested. Try to avoid using stereotypes or clichés in your communications as in truth it undermines the individual. Learn how to give and take acceptance and rejection with equal grace and respect. Good manners and respect take you far in life and online! And, most importantly, be kind and patient with yourself. A good rule in dating, as in life, is do to others as you wish them to do to you.

Picture perfect Exuding charm, infectious energy, and unshakeable confidence, Alice (Anne Celestino) is the teenage trans girl protagonist of your movie dreams. She’s a runner-up in a reality competition show for young models, which she never lets her adoring public forget via her bubbly YouTube updates. She’s living her best life in a chic Brazilian city when her father unexpectedly moves her to the more conservative countryside. As Alice contends with boys’ school uniforms and ignorant bullying, she also opens herself up to new forms of friendship. First-time feature director Gil Baroni makes a grand entrance with this flirty, heartfelt, and celebratory trans comedy. More trans films like this one, please. —JD
“Happy Together”
Well, yeah," he says. "In terms of age difference, this is probably the most significant. But I've gotten used to being a daddy these days." Belgian director Chantal Akerman resisted being labeled as a queer filmmaker, though her sensibilities closely align to that school of thought in “Les Rendez-vous d’Anna.” Another spare drama that plays out like a long night of the soul from the director of “Jeanne Dielman,” this 1978 masterwork is about a filmmaker named Anna’s profound sense of loneliness as she struggles to make connections with former lovers and acquaintances. A moment in which she confides in her mother about a lesbian encounter is the film’s most private and personal. — RL
