DES!RE

About This Movie

DES!RE (2017) is one of those films that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. It dives deep into the nuanced conversations around desire, particularly focusing on transmasc and masculine of center individuals. The black-and-white visuals are hauntingly beautiful, creating an atmosphere that feels both introspective and raw. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the voices of transmen, butch, and femme individuals to resonate authentically. It’s more of a meditation than a narrative, which might not appeal to everyone, but there's something compelling about its approach to identity and desire. It stands out for its authenticity and emotional depth, capturing a spectrum of experiences that are often overlooked.

DES!RE is a bit of a hidden gem in the experimental film circuit, with limited releases and not much visibility in mainstream collections. Its focus on such a specific niche gives it a unique place among LGBTQ+ cinema. Collectors might find it particularly interesting due to its scarcity and the rich discussions it provokes about identity and representation.
