Boys On Film

There’s a super-gay presence at the IndieCork festival this month, which opens with Beach Rats (pictured) a star-making vehicle for new hunk on the block, Harris Dickinson. He plays Frankie, a deliquent Brooklyn boy who hangs out with his buddies, engages in a tentative relationship with Simone, and secretly cruises for sex and drugs on gay chat rooms and at night on the beach. For a Brit, Dickinson gets the accent spot on, and at Sundance this year, his was the name was on everyone’s lips.

IndieCork also bagged the first Irish screening of 2018 Oscar hopeful, Call Me By Your Name, a coming-of-age drama set in the 1980s, following a precocious Italian teenager Elio who falls for his father’s handsome 24 year-old doctoral intern, Oliver (played by The Lone Ranger’s Armie Hammer). There’s a lot to swoon over here, from two pitch-perfect performances to gorgeous cinematography by Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, and the two new Sujan Stevens songs on the soundtrack. Plus it’s getting some American homophobes up in arms. What’s not to love?

IndieCork, Cork’s festival of independent film and music, runs from October 8 to 15. For more information, visit indiecork.com
