Futuro Beach
A ponderous procession of pretty pictures does not a movie make. The gay romantic drama FUTURO BEACH proves that the hard way, as German Konrad (handsome Clemens Schick) and Brazilian Donato (Wagner Moura) fall for each other, mostly in Portuguese and German with English subtitles. Not that the language matters much; dialogue and plot are so scarce that we learn next to nothing about who these men are or why they’re together. Combined with inexplicably tortured pacing, all those pretty pictures become pretty boring. –YSM
