A boy’s best friend is his lover movie review (2012)

North Sea Texas (Dutch: Noordzee, Texas) is a Belgian drama romance film directed by Bavo Defurne in his feature directorial debut, who co-wrote the script with Yves Verbraeken, based on André Sollie 's Nooit gaat dit over. Much of this comes from evoking a strong sense of the early s, great cinematography and excellent performances from a mostly inexperienced cast. Pim Jelle Florizoone is a teenager living with his floozy former beauty queen mother in a Belgian coastal town.

Throughout the 90s, Belgian filmmaker Bavo Defurne showcased his highly stylized sensibility in a series of queer-infused shorts that reflected overt influences from Derek Jarman, Pierre et Gilles and Jean Genet.

North Sea Texas

With his new feature-length film, North Sea Texas (Belgium, ), he brings this palette to more universal themes. Adapted from André Sollie’s novel, North Sea Texas revisits many of Defurne’s reliable tropes, but the movie is able to transcend them, and ultimately opens up a queer-inflected vista onto wider insights. The movie is pleasant to look at; the props and sets, painted in hazy primary colors, seem as though they were carved out of glycerin soap. Some of these movies have been quite good.
