HEIKO

HEIKO

A Film by David Bonneville

Cast:Jaime Freitas, José Manuel Mendes

Home movies on the beach show the playful Heiko doing sit-ups, sleeping, running. Then we see him arriving home, where he lives with his much-older lover, taunting and teasing him to the breaking point and beyond. He may be a nice-looking young guy, but it's hard to imagine putting up with his nonsense. And sure enough, the older man doesn't. Shot like a stylish feature, with extremely clever camera work and strongly believable acting, the film is blackly funny and thoroughly unsettling, partly because of the lack of background music and partly because the story gets bleak and creepy as it implies that things are going to just get worse and worse before the end. There's clearly a love-hate-adoration-destruction thing going on between these guys. Full Summary
