the accolade for this movie be proof positive that the key to good review from pseudo intellectual and film critic be bombastic pedantry intertwine with flagrant homo eroticism . this film heap annoy precocious display upon annoy precocious display and culminating in the stereotypical homosexual fantasy represent everyone desirable be gay or suppress their gay tendency . most of the historical and literary and movie reference will sail over the head of the typical viewer and which would be perfectly fine if the material be not so ham hand and campy and pompous . a few good performance and but all in all a disappointing piece of gay propaganda .
