Love and Death On Long Island

UK / Canada 1997, 93 minutes
Dir. Richard Kwietniowski
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama / LGBT

Feat. John Hurt, Jason Priestley, Sheila Hancock, Maury Chaykin, Anne Reid

Aroview: Delightful central conceit sees John Hurt fall in love with flaky teen-movie actor Jason Priestley in this decidedly genre and sexuality-twisting comedy that rubs Merchany Ivory against teen comedy. Both actors get mileage from their respective public personas, and a dryly witty script.

4 stars (Very Good) Middle-aged English novelist, Giles, takes a crash-course in a teenage heart-throb, Ronnie, whose film he inadvertently ends up at. Completely infatuated he travels to Long Island determined to find him. Unconventional, witty & charming. ~GenXGirl
