A Refreshing Movie From the ’80s
Parting Glances is a wonderful film. Steve Buscemi plays a man who has AIDS but this is not an AIDS movie, it is a movie about love and friendship. John Bolger, who later played Gabe McNamara a police chief on the soap opera Another World, plays a man who is leaving his lover to take a job in Africa. His reasons for leaving are examined and challenged all to the tune of a delightful score by Brahms with Mozart in counterpoint. A visit from a character from Don Giovanni provides a delightful interlude. Fans of The Drew Carey show will enjoy the performance of Kathy Kinney in a role that is almost a mirror image of Mimi.
The definitive gay 1980’s movie.
If you’re looking for the best movie about being gay during the height of the AIDS epidemic, skip “Longtime Companion” and watch this film. Funny, sad and true to life. Well written, well acted….check out Kathy Kinney and Steve Buscemi at the beginning of their careers.The movie is never preachy or sappy. And there are some Bronski Beat tunes used to very nice effect.
The true crime is that AIDS claimed writer / director Bill Sherwood before he could make another film. This was his only movie – a perfect example of how this disease has robbed the world of a generation of talented individuals.
