{"product_id":"unknown-straightman-0759259140240","title":"Straightman","description":"This independent film from Chicago delves into themes of coming out, the life of working-class gay men and the complex relationship between gay and straight men. Done on an extremely low budget, this gritty comedy-drama follows the lives of David (Ben Berkowitz), a comedy club worker who is a loud, opinionated, overweight lout and womanizer (yet strangely sympathetic and likable) and his best friend and neighbor Jack, a quietly thoughtful construction worker involved in a long relationship with Maxine. When Maxine leaves suddenly, the despondent Jack moves in with his buddy. The character-driven tale looks at the men’s difficulties in their sexual lives and in maintaining their often-strained relationship with insight and wit. But when Jack comes out as gay, a whole new wrinkle unfolds. With some unusually sexy scenes and a real different approach to gay love and coming out, “Straightman” appeals to the \"regular guy\" in all of us. A wonderfully understated and knowing film – refreshingly distant from the gay-friendly but overly familiar gym bunny world of West Hollywood and Chelsea.","brand":"momoxbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53923380035926,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/unknown-straightman-0759259140240","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
