Gay neo-Nazi film 'Brotherhood' wins top prize in Rome

Rate: 1 Flag

The Danish film, Brotherhood, about two gay neo-Nazis in a clandestine romance, won top honors at the Rome Film Festival on Friday:  

"'Brotherhood' is a story about dangerous love and the search for identity. Following disillusionment with his career, Lars decides to leave the army and is drawn to the Neo-Nazi movement and not least to his peer, Jimmy. The two men become embroiled in a secret love affair, but such forbidden love cannot go unpunished in fascist circles. However, despite all the rules forbidding it, the love and sexual attraction between the two men is so strong that they cannot abandon their affair."

Brotherhood is the first feature film debut from Danish photographer and filmmaker Nicolo Donato.

Brokeback Nazis? What a very strange concept for a film. I do not believe I will be watching this. Much better gay films out there. Just saw one based on "A Midsummer's Night Dream" that was outstanding. Unfortunatly I can't remember the damn title to save my life. Damn space rays.
Rated for making me go hmmmmmm.

I agree with Andy: this doesn't strike me as a 'must see.'

"Were the World Mine" (the movie I think Andy is referring to) is a gay musical set in a private boys school based on Midsummer Night's Dream. It's low budget, but very good.
