''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.

Retired widower Ali, a Turkish immigrant living in Bremen, Germany, sees a solution to his loneliness when he meets Yeter, a Turkish prostitute. He proposes that she live with him in exchange for a low rent, which at first upsets his son, Nejat. However the young professor quickly grows fond of kind Yeter, especially upon discovering most of her hard-earned money is sent home toTurkey for her daughter's university studies. When an accident occurs, Nejat travels to Istanbul to search for Yeter's daughter, Ayten, not knowing the 20-something political activist is already in Germany, having fled the Turkish police. Alone and penniless, Ayten is befriended by German student Lotte, who is immediately seduced by the young Turkish woman's charms and political situation. Lotte invites rebellious Ayten to stay in her home, a gesture not particularly pleasing to her conservative mother, Susanne. However when Ayten gets arrested, then deported and imprisoned in Turkey, passionate Lotte decides to abandon everything to help Ayten. This is a powerful film about relations between parents and children, between the West and Islam, and between repentance and forgiveness. It won the Best Screenplay prize at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, as well as sweeping the major prizes at the 2007 German Film awards.
