Goodbye Seventies

Film program, US 2020, 91 min., engl. OV

By: Todd Verow

With: Chris Rehmann, Ken Kaissar, Justin Ivan Brown, James Kleinmann

In the 1970s, during the golden age of gay pornography in New York City, a promising chorus boy is injured and told he will never dance again. Distraught and unimpressed with the films playing the seedy Times Square theaters, he gets his friends and lovers together and they start making their own hardcore movies. Against all odds the films are wildly successful until drugs, AIDS and cheap video technology bring it all crashing down. With his nostalgic-melancholic ode to the porn cinema of the 70s, Todd Verow presents a gay variation on “Boogie Nights” and one of his best films.
