The recovery of this film is important because it confronts us with the way AIDS was lived at its worst. There is an obsessive need to explain many things, a discourse of anger and helplessness that does not benefit the film, but that was necessary at that time. Knowing that the director Arthur J. Bressan died in 1987 (44 years old) and the actor Geoff Edholm in 1989 (33 years old), both of complications derived from AIDS, makes its viewing even more emotional.

puts nearly everything else i've seen on the subject to shame and all it took was the first go in terms of release period. such an honest and deeply impactful film. this got more out of what little it had (in budget, time to be made, and other resources) than things with many times over. not necessarily a surprise or anything as i am constantly blown away by what people with such constraints are able to accomplish but it's still worth saying. need to watch the rest of Arthur J. Bressan, Jr.'s stuff very soon. this and Forbidden Letters are both incredible, fucking wow.

This is extremely heartbreaking and is actually the first movie to take on the topic of aids
