BOY is the “Ideal Macho Dancer Film”
Film critic Francis Cruz offers an eloquent reflection on the latest film from Aureaus Solito and describes BOY‘s position in the genre of macho dancer cinema. Here’s an excerpt:
“Aureaus Solito’s BOY is the ideal macho dancer film, one that maintains the unhindered erotic possibilities of gazing at naked bodies in the safety and privacy of a darkened cinema, without the implicated guilt of doing so and more importantly, absent the always useless and hypocritical social pedagogy that has become synonymous with the abused genre. BOY refuses to apologize for all the homoerotic images on display… Absent any forced social implication, the film focuses on exploring the gay psyche, lyrically exposing the mysteries of homosexual attraction and the path to self-discovery.”
