Fogi Is a Bastard

£26.00
Set
in Zurich during the early seventies and boasting a killer soundtrack
that includes the likes of punk legends The Stooges and The Velvet
Underground, 'Fögi is a Bastard' is director Marcel Gisler’s honest
depiction of teenage infatuation and obsession. Beni is a 15-year old
sensitive romantic completely besotted by the super sexy Fögi, the front
man to local punk outfit The Minks. The wide-eyed seemingly innocent
Beni - who begins his courting of Fögi with lovingly penned letters - is
welcomed into the out gay punk musician's world of partying and playing
gigs. However, as Fögi slowly drifts from an ambitious music career to
the addictive world of drugs, a wedge slowly forms in their relationship
which leads to Beni becoming a submissive 'dog' in their relationship
and also leads to Beni supporting his lover with sex work. With its raw
depiction of urban life, ghettoized youth, working class angst, and gay
male sex without any compromise, 'Fögi is a Bastard' is a must see for
fans of coming-of-age cinema and alternative queer teen sensibilities
and aesthetics.
