"Weekend" : A (Boxer) Brief Encounter

It's a fairly cold day here in DFW - 50's, cloudy, breezy - basically the first cold chill of the season, and I've just seen Andrew Haigh's "Weekend", the British gay independent film, and it's quite lovely as far as these kinds of films go.

It's a "brief encounter" story of two lovers (who just happen to be gay men) who meet one day and talk and chit-chat and have sex, discuss art, relationships, their sexuality (which appropriately contrast from overt to subvert) and talk movies and such, all over the course of a weekend.

I'm not the biggest fan of these films (which, from the American independent mumblecore movement to the European art-house set, are all the rage these days) and other than the fact that this is a gay relationship drama, "Weekend" seldom breaks new ground, yet if writer/director Andrew Haigh and his two excellent principle actors Tom Cullen and Chris New don't quite make magic, they spin a thoroughly convincing, spontaneous, tingly universal quasi-love story that's sweet and of-the-moment, yet far from tedious.

I don't know what it is, I greatly appreciate these films in some way, from Abbas Kiarostami's "Certified Copy" to Alex Holdridge's "In Search of a Midnight Kiss", yet if there wasn't another of these two-people-meet-and-talk relationship dramas, I don't know that I'd miss them all that much.
