Thornhill, Michael

1988

This provocative and daring new work from Australia employs an excellent cast, Arthur Dignam and Mark Lee (Gallipoli), to tell the story of a secret homosexual society. A wealthy senator, Dignam, is chaffeured to a private boy's school to select his next lover. Having surveyed the crop of handsome youths, he picks a blond, Mark Lee. Several encounters are arranged between the two, and eventually, Lee is inducted into a private group of older homosexual men in high places and their young lovers. To further his career, the senator marries and has a son. Lee stays around and works as a companion for the senator's son.  Lee becomes concerned about his fading youth and seeks the assistance of a doctor who succeeds in keeping him forever young. As the senator's son comes into his manhood, he too falls in love with Lee and is also inducted into the secret family. Lee now has both, father and son. An original and oddly surreal film which could well become the next gay cult classic.

In 1981 gay audiences were stunned and delighted by a new, bold, sexy comedy from Germany, Taxi Zum Klo, a film that set new standards for gay cinema. Eight years later, Frank is back, and his life in anything but under control. He is still madly in love with men; he's always been short on money; and he has just been tied up and robbed by a hustler. On top of everything his mother thinks it's high time he kissed his idle ways good-bye and started thinking about holy matrimony—otherwise he could end up being cut out of her will. Frank finds Klara, an out-of-work actress who is willing to stage a marriage farce for his mother, but their scheme has just one snag: both Frank and Klara are in love with the same man, their neighbor Eugen. Suddenly jealousy is the order of the day, and Frank finds himself torn between competing with Klara for Eugen and still needing her to collect the inheritance. Goaded by Eugen, who maintains that with Frank being gay he will never be able to keep his wife, Frank snaps. He quickly engages a sex therapist to turn him into a heterosexual. His attempts to switch land him in a chaotic mess in which the neighbors, the police, and naturally his mother are all embroiled.
