UK: Taboo-breaking drama From Beginning To End comes to DVD
One of the most controversial gay-themed films since Cruising, this Brazilian romantic drama centers on the intimate bond between two men – who just happen to be brothers.
As children, Francisco and his younger half-brother Thomás, were best friends and unusually close to each other – so much so that their intimacy brings vocal concerns from relatives that maybe they are too close.
But the parents reluctantly brush away the gossip. Fast-forward several years with the now strikingly handsome young men taking their childhood intensity into a torrid sexual relationship. But can their love survive society’s discerning gaze? Spectacularly shot amidst the mountains, beaches and grand estates of Brazil, this sweeping erotic drama does not just live on the controversial subject matter but rather is a strikingly evocative romance of two men fighting against societal conventions.
