This delightful trio of films concentrate on the gay experiences of their characters. The films (each by a different contributor) represent the gamut from gay bashing, where the tables are unexpectedly turned, to fantasy with an unusual sprinkling of love and lust thrown in for good measure. Fills a niche in the popular gay oriented cinema. Enjoyable and different.

This review is from: Boys in Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I usually like this films that no one else likes, but this collection just sucked. All the acting was terrible. The only short that was worth it was that last one. It actually had a story and some cute characters. The others were just stupid. They were the kind of stories that only happen to people in short films like these.
Also, they didn't have very cute actors. I mean, if you're gonna have bad acting and stupid stories you should at least have some cute guys without that much clothing on to hold some attention from the audience. The cover of the video is very misleading.
I was very disappointed with this collection of short films, except the last one, it was cute. I say get "Boys' Life" 1 & 2. Those are far better than this series.

"Boys in Love (1994-95, 83 min, United States/Great Britain)
Collection of short films which include: Death in Venice, CA (1994, 30 min, United States, David Ebersole) Based upon A Death in Venice and with lots of references to literary works, this short film describes the love of a married intellectual man for his landlady's cute stepson. Achilles (1995, 11 min, Great Britain, Barry Purves) This is a great claymation film showing the love between Achilles and Petroclus. My Polish Waiter (1994, 12 min, United States, Terracino) A quirky short film about a young guy, Timith, who falls in love with an older, Polish waiter named Balki. Miguel, Ma Belle (1994, 30 min, United States, George Camarda) This is a cute dog film, about two lovers, one with AIDS, who have broken up. The negative guy gives Miguel a puppy to help him worry less about his HIV+ condition. It's a very inspirational film." - From QCinema
