David’s Birthday
A stunningly-shot and beguiling ode to the all-encompassing pull of desire, this movie stands out as an example of gay European Cinema at its most potent. Two married couples head out to the stunning Italian coast for an ideal holiday in the sun. With both Diego and Shanny, and Matteo and Francesca’s relationship seemingly solid and unflappable, the group of friends settle in for a typically serene beach holiday. But when Diego and Shanny’s young lithe son David arrives, it quickly becomes evident that it is not just the young girls on the beach who are drawn to his Adonis-like beauty.
