Review of Parting Glances (1986) by Michael R — 05 Jan 2009
"Parting Glances".
Was in 1986 ahead of it's time with the way it handled the subject matter of AIDS.
"Steve Buscemi" is just as amazing an actor then as he is now in his break out role as a somewhat washed up rocker with HIV/Aids.
The main storyline is that of His Character"Nick's) ex Michael "Richard Ganoung" dealing with his lover going to Africa on a long business assignment while still loving and tending to "Nick" Buscemi's Character,making sure he eats and takes his meds.
In Michael's heart Nick will always be the love of his life and thats bitter sweet.
Enter the club scenes at The Limelight"they dont mention it,but I have been to that club enough to know that's where it was filmed" and the party scenes with all the steriotypical characters,"the over weight effeminent bitter vicious gay man","The ever so undestanding overweight fag hag" played well by Kathy Kinney " of Drew Carey fame. The young promiscuous pretty boy.etc..
I very much enjoyed the movie and it still holds up today,even more so for it's nostalgic merit.
