"Fogi Is A Bastard"

This is a film made in Switzerland in 1998. The dialogue is in French. The story is about a young gay teen (16) Beni, who meets his punk rock idol, Fogi, at a concert and becomes his lover. Beni is a nice young man who desperately wants to be in love and leave his little homophobic Swiss Canton. Fogi is a bastard.

It's a very delicately crafted story which refuses to paint anything in white or black. It will leave you with far more questions than answers and the desire to process those ideas with someone else.
