We recently watched a gay thriller called “No Night is Too Long.” You may not have heard of this film. It was originally a TV movie, co-produced between the BBC and Canada’s Showcase Network, although it has all the feel of a big screen film. The story centers around bisexual Tim Cornish (Lee Williams), a college student who develops a crush on his teacher Dr. Ivo Steadman (Marc Warren). Their relationship moves from being physical and distant to obsessive and dangerous. The plot itself is full of enough twists to keep you guessing and enough sex to keep you interested until the shocking end.

The pros:
-Lee Williams is smoking hot and despite this being a televised film, there are plenty of revealing shots to keep this boy in your fantasies for years to come.
-Coming out doesn’t factor into the story at all, which is refreshing.
-The characters are complex and different to what we usually see in gay film, possessing a number of negative traits that make them compelling and unpredictable.
-The famous elevator kiss scene:

The cons:
-Tim has terrible taste in lovers. His romantic counterparts in this film are far from attractive. Luckily Lee Williams is hot enough to make up for this.
-Availability. This film is currently only available on DVD imported from France. It has non-removable subtitles and you need a region 2 DVD player at home, unless you can find a download of it somewhere.

Overall, I highly recommend this film. Gay cinema desperately needs more genre films like this that feature gay characters rather than gay stories.
