Writer and director Gus Van Sant made his feature debut with this gay drama shot in "chiaroscuro" black and white. A white gay clerk has a crush on a Mexican immigrant which causes him trouble and heartache. The film feels like a documentary because of the performances and actual locations that brings a genuine sense of authenticity. Van Sant made a truly independent film that features themes he would explore better in his later films such as "My Own Private Idaho." The look and feel of the film is in tune with its spirit which started an illustrious career. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
