True Love

A friend is in a movie, a tiny independent movie, that's now available on DVD. True Love is only 72 minutes but it includes seven brief stories. My friend's segment, "Sunday", was filmed at his own house in the Berkeley hills. Two middle aged men are in bed together on a Sunday morning. One wakes to find a Happy Anniversary card on the bedside table. He turns to his lover and mimes making love to him, in order not to wake him. It's sexy, not pornographic.

The movie is pretty good overall. "Staying Together" was my favorite story, I think. The actors are playing a couple that's been together awhile and they seem comfortable with each other; they touch, kiss, embrace, as though there were no danger in the act.

It's worth a see, if you can find it.
