''I Do'' DVD
now in-store
at a special price!
I Do was one of the hits at this year's Sydney Mardi Gras Queer Screen Film Festival and we're very pleased to be able to offer this just released title at our very special price of $24.99 ($10 less than the recommended retail price)! This is an honest, charming film about a gay guy (handsome out and proud British actor, David W Ross) who is devoted to caring for his sister-in-law and niece. He's prepared to do what it takes to stay in the US for that, even marrying his best girl friend, but when he falls in love with Mano, his committments become hard to juggle... We also have a couple of new dvd releases recently seen on television : the absolutely hilarious Threesome, about what happens when a straight couple and their gay best friend try to put their partying ways behind them to raise a child together, and Please Like Me, starring gay Aussie comedian Josh Thomas.

This is the long-awaited dvd of the film which won accolades for Tom Ford's directorial debut, and for Colin Firth's Oscar award-nominated performance as George Falconer, a British literature professor living in Los Angeles in 1962, struggling to find meaning in his life after the death of his long-term partner, Jim. Sensitively adapted from Christopher Isherwood's novel, we follow George over the course of one day and actually see and respond to his struggle to find meaning. Ever since a car accident took the life of Jim, George has been on a desperate search for some degree of contentment, some sign that he can love again and will be loved in return. He finds some solace and distraction with his best friend and former lover, Charley (Julianne Moore), an aging, hard-drinking beauty, and one of his students, Kenny (Nicholas Hoult), who appears, at first glance, to be nothing more than an infatuated youth, but whose innate desire for meaningful human interaction may in fact be the key to George's emotional salvation. The power and breadth of A Single Man is not only in its uncompromising assertion of the legitimacy of gay relationships (without resorting to chest thumping), but its focus on humanity, and our common need to reach out to other people, while still making meaning of our own lives. The film is exceptional in its beauty and subtlety of observation, and the  poignancy of Colin Firth's acting will astound you.
