Wild Tigers I Have Known - Malcolm Stumpf, Patrick White - DVD |
moviebizz.com featuring rare coming of age films from around the world.
SYNOPSIS: Logan, soft spoken, lonely and 13 years old, is a boy
with a crush. Unlike his equally lonely friend Joey, who obsesses over the
sexual exploits of the slightly older, postpubescent boys, Logan is fixated on
the boys themselves, particularly Rodeo Walker. Rodeo is the only one of the
group of cool kids who shows any friendliness toward Logan, meaning he doesn’t
go out of his way to make Logan’s life miserable. As Logan and Rodeo strike up
a mismatched friendship, the kind that only works on walks deep into the forest
when no one else is around, Logan’s infatuation with Rodeo inspires him to
create a new persona named Leah. Leah and Rodeo grow close through whispered
phone calls, and when Leah agrees to meet Rodeo face to face, it is Logan who
must finally prove that he can ask for what he so achingly wants.
EDITORIAL REVIEW:
Painfully surreal and remarkably accurate, this surprising
American made film has all the makings of a controversial movie that will make
some right-wingers down right angry. Logan, brilliantly played by
Malcolm Stumpf, is an effeminate acting boy who masturbates to visions of boys
wrestling in singlets (the wrestling uniform), and doesn't seem to care what the
other school kids say about him. Publicly humiliated and continually called a
"Fag" at school, Logan's only sanctuary from all this ridiculing is his basement
and Joey's (Max Paradise) bizarre, space-age bedroom. Joey, an equally geeky,
but non-gay friend, is a little too dense to see what Logan is all about (even
after a penis measuring contest in the closet), but enjoys the sexually-based
conversations they usually have about the other boys in the school. When
Logan
and Rodeo become closer friends, Joey quickly fades from the scene until one day
Logan invites Joey over to "show him something."
This bizarre film seems almost
like a long dream, complete with eerie music and lighting! Controversial as it
is already (plenty of skin, sexual innuendo and scenes...which is very rare in
an American made coming of age film), one can only imagine what the content
would be had it been made in...let's say France, or Norway.
