Finally some news on Portuguese director João Pedro Rodrigues' latest gay fantasia Will-o'-the-Wisp, a pornographic sci-fi fireman musical that I saw at NYFF last year (here is my review) -- Strand is releasing it here in New York on May 26th! And João Pedro Rodrigues will be here for Q&As too. Rodrigues if you're unfamiliar is the filmmaker behind gay classics O Fantasmo and I can call The Ornithologist a classic now right? it's seven this year. Anyway he's great and this movie is wonderfully bizarre, although perhaps a whisper too short at just sixty-seven minutes long. But leave 'em wanting more pornographic sci-fi fireman musical, that's what they always say! Here is the proper plot description:
"On his deathbed, his royal highness Alfredo, king without a crown, is taken back to distant youth memories and the time he dreamt of becoming a fireman. The encounter with instructor Afonso from the fire brigade opens a new chapter in the life of the two young men immersed in love and desire, and the will to change the status quo."
And you can watch the trailer here at YouTube.
(It's age-restricted - lame! - so you have to click over.)
No word on where it goes after NYC but we'll keep looking.
I assume thereabouts will be a digital release, if not long after.
