A young Jewish man is caught between thrilling private trysts and his repressive family in this thoughtful drama set in 1980s Brooklyn.
1980s New York City, Brighton Beach, aka ‘Little Odessa‘
David (Samuel H Levine, THE INHERITANCE) is a young, handsome and secretly gay man, trapped by his conservative Russian Jewish community in an outer neighbourhood of ‘80s New York. When he develops a close friendship with his grandfather’s new neighbours, a closeted couple, they open his imagination to the prospect of love and same sex desires
David begins to explore the city’s intoxicating East Village — a world teeming with the energy of youth and underground gay bars.
Featuring exquisite cinematography by Ole Bratt Birkeland (JUDY), Director Eric Steel’s (THE BRIDGE) acclaimed film tells a powerful story of rebellion, survival, sexual and spiritual awakening
What’s most interesting about Eric Steel’s tender coming-of-age drama is the queerness hiding in plain sight.
★★★★
a raft of great performances captured beautifully by cinematographer Ole Bratt Birkeland and director Steel, Minyan is well worth seeing
