A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
I don't even know why I am reviewing this film here. It I soothing but an excuse to watch porn for 75 odd minutes. Yes, it is porn with full on sex scenes; the only thing is that it is disguised behind an actual storyline, which to be honest are not that bad. But story probably constitutes 15-20% of the film, and the rest is sex. Its primarily a collection of four short stories.
"Diablo en Madrid" is a story of serial temptation in a graveyard. An irresistibly good looking guy is playing the part of the Devil who's come up to earth from hell. He succeeds in his mission of seduction, meeting resistance only when he encounters the "good" angel. This is portrayed as a battle of good and evil in the summary.
In "Über Menschen", a professor, is visiting Madrid from Buenos Aires and contemplates to kill himself by jumping off the Viaducto de Segovia, known as a notorious site for suicides. When his young Uber driver realizes that, he talks him out of it and offers him a very personal and seducing tour of the city instead.
"Purple Army Faction" - In the near future, a terrorist group called the Purple Army Faction (PAF) has formed to reduce the population in a dangerously over-populated world by stopping people to reproduce. For that, they kidnap unsuspecting heterosexuals, one played by Francois Sagat (who I have seen in plenty of porn), and sway them towards the gay cause.
"Dirty Cinema" or "Fleapit" - In the seventies, a seedy movie theatre showing B-movies and softcore porn were called a "fleapit." In"Fleapit," a group of eleven people watching Bruce LaBruce's The Raspberry Reich in a theatre slowly start to flirt with each other, becoming more and more sexually aroused as they watch the porn on the screen until they become part of the porn film themselves.
Absolutely totally avoidable at any cost, unless you are into porn with a purpose. (1/10)
