Posted on February 28, 2008  | Filed Under New DVD Releases

ELEVEN MEN OUT stars Icelandinc hunk Björn Hlynur Haraldsson as Ottar, the star player of the first-place soccer team in Iceland’s top league. When he comes out to a journalist as gay everyone seems to be against him. But when Ottar leaves to join an amateur team (that happens to have two other gay players) suddenly every gay soccer enthusiast in town wants to be part of the “gay team.” Available March 4th.

Fresh off the queer film festival circuit, SONJA follows the titular Sonja, a pretty, 16- year-old blonde, as she experiences unfamiliar feelings for her gal pal Julia. This intimate drama captures those indelible moments in young adulthood when one realizes that “I love you” means different things to different people, the film lays bare all the uncertainty, fear, and beauty of coming of age. Available March 11th.
