| Le beau mec (1979) |
Le beau mec is a classic of gay porn, telling the story (yes, porn films once upon a time had storylines, not just sex acts) of a young man who makes his way to Paris and then hustles as a way to make rent. Unfortunately, the story isn’t particularly compelling and the sex scenes for the most part aren’t particularly erotic, especially since the main character has what appears to be a prominent herpes sore on his upper lip. It’s interesting from an historical perspective, but otherwise not recommended.
theater screening preceded by Big Sur Gay Porn, dir. Ryan A. White, 2023, USA, 12 min. 🙂 (in the streaming encore in the “Shorts: The Ace of Wands Tarot” program)

| Big Sur Gay Porn |
Filmmaker Tom DeSimone made several gay and straight porn films, including Sur, before transitioning to more conventional filmmaking. DeSimone was particularly fond of the beach at Big Sur as a location for filming. Documentarian Ryan A. White shows DeSimone a copy of Sur, a film that had been lost to time but was rediscovered and digitized. DeSimone’s summary: don’t see this film [the original Sur]! Big Sur Gay Porn was mildly interesting, worth seeing for historical perspective.
