Solicitor

About This Movie

Solicitor (1994) is a curious exploration of desire and taboo, anchored by an attorney whose moral compass gets nudged in unexpected directions. The film invites you into this world with a blend of shock and intrigue, as he grapples with the eroticism of what he witnesses. There’s this palpable tension throughout, both in the dialogue and the performances, that pulls you into the protagonist's inner conflict. It's worth noting how the pacing allows for moments of reflection, making the film’s themes of attraction and societal boundaries linger long after the credits roll. The practical effects are minimal but serve the narrative well, keeping the focus on the character dynamics.

Solicitor has had a bit of an uneven run in terms of availability, with original VHS copies becoming somewhat of a rarity in the collector's circuit. The film's unique premise and exploration of male sexuality makes it an intriguing piece for those who appreciate niche cinema. It’s not widely known, which contributes to a certain appeal among collectors who like to dig deeper into lesser-known works from the '90s. Keep an eye out for limited runs or festival screenings if you're hunting for a copy.
