Cine: Jongens (2014)

El deporte es el foco de una historia de amor adolescente que se desarrolla en un pueblito neerlandés. Allí, durante la práctica de atletismo, Sieger (Gijs Blom) hace lo que se espera de un muchacho de quince años: tontea con su mejor amigo Stef (Stijn Taverne) y mira con risueño deseo a las chicas que se reúnen a pocos metros. En realidad, es Stef quien lo hace, porque Sieger parece haberse quedado prendado de Marc (Ko Zandvliet), su compañero del club, con quien se prepara para enfrentar una competencia de carrera de relevos.

Parece ser un hijo modelo: nada que ver con su hermano mayor Eddy (Jonas Smulders) que, siempre de mal humor, es despedido de su trabajo y pasa el tiempo en otra clase de carreras: las de motos, medio de transporte que se llevó la vida de su madre. A las buenas noticias del ascenso a un lugar de protagonismo en la competición principal, Siegers ve florecer una impensada relación con Marc, la cual se siente obligado a mantener bajo una gran discreción.

La directora Mischa Kamp construye, en poco más de una hora, una historia sencilla y entrañable, elaborada con miradas furtivas, caricias robadas (”no soy gay”, dirá Siegers, espantado tras un primer beso irrefrenable) y el infaltable temor a avanzar en una relación cuya revelación podría acarrear consecuencias difíciles de mensurar en el círculo de amigos y en el seno familiar. Bellísima.

Queer indie dramas are an entire subgenre, and I am OBSESSED!!! I just wanted to shoutout some of my favorites real quick.

(Warning: These films will rip your heart out and then put it back together again.)

God’s Own Country (2017)

This film takes place in the Yorkshire countryside and is basically Brokeback Mountain with a happy ending. It is nitty-gritty and rough around the edges and kind of hard to watch at parts, but there’s so much tenderness woven throughout. Francis Lee did an outstanding job, especially considering this was his first film. Plus, it has a cutie baby Josh O’Connor in it 🥰

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

This film is about a painter who is hired to do the wedding portrait of a young woman who is engaged to be married to a nobleman. She refuses to sit for the portrait, so it must be done without her knowledge. Marianne poses as her companion so she can study her features for the portrait, but an intense emotional connection forms. It’s a very artsy very French film, but it’s so beautiful and emotional and the intimacy and care between Marianne and Heloise melts my heart 🥺 I also love the friendship they have with the young maid, Sophie.

Weekend (2011)

This film takes place over the course of a weekend as two men have a Friday night hookup but then start talking the following morning and realize that maybe there’s something there. They’re at different places in their coming-out journey, but they spend the entire weekend together in a little bubble, talking and getting to know one another. And then as the weekend comes to a close, they realize that they’re starting to genuinely fall in love. It’s a quiet, introspective film and it brings up some really important conversations around sexuality as well.

Boys/Jongens (2014)

I always call this film Dutch Heartstopper and I watched it on repeat in the days leading up to Heartstopper’s release. The plotting is very similar, although the tone is quite different. Two boys meet when they are on the same relay team at school. One is a year older and more confident in his sexuality and the younger is still struggling to figure himself out but knows that he is irresistibly attracted to his new best friend. This film has butterflies and first kisses and first love, and I will always recommend it to fans of Heartstopper!
