| Résumé : | An engrossing tale of gay students at Bible college, battling with their own sexuality and a bigoted system. An impassioned gay teenage drama set in a conservative Bible college, "The Last Year" is distinguished by an attractive cast and its desire to expose homophobia and the difficulties of coming out in a harsh environment. Paul, a lanky, long-haired student returns to Eastmont College for his senior year and has to decide about going to seminary. He is conflicted because of his same-sex desires - acted upon over the summer - and now faces pressure from his father to "straighten out." Returning to school, Paul hopes to renew his friendship with Hector. However, a hunky new student named Alex arrives and captures the eye, the mind, and the heart of Paul, especially when he openly discusses homosexuality in Bible Study. As the couple share zealous kisses and a forbidden love, Hector is physically abused by a trio of jocks - some of whom might be gay themselves! When their affair becomes the talk of the school, Paul is threatened with expulsion from Dean Saunders, a major closet case in his own right (there's a whole lot of homosexuality in this school). At least the cute queer boys have help from Robbie, Paul's straight but understanding roommate. Director Jeff London has made offers a lesson about love and tolerance that is also easy on the eyes. While the characters all use the Bible to justify their feelings and actions, viewers will be rooting for justice and true love to prevail. Three Reasons to buy this film: 1) an intelligent, insightful film that opens up debate about spirituality and sexuality; 2) the guys in this movie are exceptionally good looking; there is something about hunky Bible College guys struggling with their sexuality that will set one's imagination a-flutter! |
