Ballet Down the Highway

BIJOU Gay Classics

95 min. Directed by Jack Deveau
Description:

The life of an icy, sophisticated ballet star, Ivan Hogan (Henk Van Dijk), is disrupted by an affair with a charming but chaotic truck driver, Joe (Garry Hunt), in this ambitious film shot in Manhattan, which features a compelling story, well-realized characters, complex emotions, raunchy sexual action, and wonderful choreographed ballet sequences. This is cinema first, like most of the output of Hand in Hand Films, with the sex serving to illustrate the film's larger themes, one of which is the attraction of opposites. This sexual comedy of manners of sorts touches on class, closeted-ness, and unrequited longing and is strong on realism, which makes the sex so much more interesting; it's like you're watching real, three-dimensional people fuck. A fascinating classic.
