After viewing, I feel really really sad.
This is an extremely sentimental film.
The blackness of the film matches the mood so well.
The story is simple. The gay protagonist, Walt, loves/lusts the Mexican boy, Johnny. But Johnny is not gay, and does not love Walt at all.
This is Gus van Sant's first film, which he financed himself. Due to financial constraints, they used "no cutting, no stars, no script". Pretty much like the Dogma Cinema. Yet, somehow I do believe this is the best way to show the real characters with real feelings
Mala Noche (1985)
