THE BATHHOUSE

I watched this movie a couple of days ago and i was surprised, the story was so real. I feel that i see myself of one of the characters. I like the sensitivity of the story, they really tackle what it feels like being "gay" in general sense, the processes it undergo - whether your curios, experimental, discreet, bisexual or out. They tackle the experiences and one's feeling regarding of being "gay". It is not boring to watch, some of the scenes were so funny and witty. You'll feel that you're part of the characters. Most of the scenes were those scenarios that i experienced. It speaks the reality. Its really good. Check the description below!

Movie Description:

BATHHOUSE a place where gay men can go to relax, kick off their shoes (and clothes) and enjoy each other's company. BATHHOUSE takes you into this world of towel clad men, back room s*x and the search for that ever elusive perfect boyfriend. One night while at the baths, young campus nerd Rico (Ray An Dulay) meets heartthrob Cris (Jet Alcantara), the chemistry between them is immediately hot and intense. Once that fire cools Rico thinks he has found the ideal man but finds himself on a roller coaster ride of love, jealousy and infidelity as Cris continues is conquest of the baths. Made in the same guerrilla style of his earlier film, Cris Pablo once again uses striking images and strong characters to tell the story of a gay life in the Philippines.
