Circuit on DVD (2001)

Doug Ridley from Brighton, England , 02/05/2005

You know how some porn movies, in an attempt to be plot driven, require their performers to act out a typically thin, dire drama in order to qualify as artistic? Usually involving a pizza delivery boy or a plumber? Well, Circuit is like that, only without the sex. If you're short of something to do on a dull Sunday afternoon, go for a walk. De-fluff your navel. Count the cracks in the pavement. But DON'T watch this movie. It is truly dire.

A realistic portrayal of shallow life in the Gay fast lane but with real depth and meaning. Low budget but well acted. Think of an almost x rated 'Tales of the city' or 'Queer as folk'. If you enjoyed those, you will enjoy this. Failing that, the soundtrack is amazing for all you 'circuit' music fans.

This is Brillent film and a documentary all in one about the American Gay Circuit scene (parties).

The Film follows 6 gay-men (including a couple) around the L.A Circuit scene and with the film you see what happens a year later in their lives.

There is sex and drugs in the film and

the music score in the film is good.

A major plus of this movie is the guys are gorgeous. I was hoping for a film with lots of fit half-naked guys dancing and good club music. There is no shortage of sexual encounters (I did start typing romantic, but they weren't). This movie seems about nothing but guys taking loads of drugs - including some overdoses. It also includes some homophobic violence at the start. Plus they couldn't make a gay film without someone having HIV. Oh and a prostitute thrown in too. Basically it wasn't what I expected, but if you don't mind all the drug abuses the eye candy is great!!

For the small proportion of ' professionally gay' men this might be of some interest; for ordinary gay men it's a disaster. It portrays all the stereotypes - when in reality most gay men lead a far less extreme life. It shows the hyped up excesses that gay people supposedly indulge in 24 hours a day; it is not representative and, rather than celebrating gayness, does it a grave disservice. One to be avoided like the plague (no pun intended), as it does us no favours, and is quite depressing - despite the talent (not to my taste, I might add, but that's me).
