A movie mosaic, constructed out of lots of apparently disconnected clips, is a bit like a jigsaw puzzle in that, sometimes, you only see the whole picture once the last piece is put in place. In this case, the director fails miserably and you are none the wiser at the end of the movie what he is trying to put across.
I could only conclude that the director was trying to produce kiddie porn by shooting disjointed scenes so that the boy didn't know what he was getting involved with.
What is more alarming is that the parents of a 13 year-old would let their son be a part of this.
Cloaking the end result as 'art' or 'the exploration of burgeoning sexuality' gives no respectability to watching the lead character masturbating, cross-dressing or engaging in phone sex.
Anybody else photographing a boy in such activities would find themselves standing in the dock.
This is a very bizzare but altogether interesting film. One you really have to sit down and watch.
If you liked Mysterious Skin and C.R.A.Z.Y you'll love this.
