An intricately constructed, lyrical and heartbreaking film about two young men wrestling with their sexuality in the repressive English society of the 1920s.

Visually striking, beautifully acted and defined by a haunting mix of romanticism and unflinching horror, this bold film bravely examines a shamefully neglected period in queer history.

当一个社会无法对个体予以尊重，那么某些个体将不得不采取自我阉割的方法来追求顺从。也因此，一个社会的文明程度，恰恰可以通过它是否迫使个体进行“自我阉割”来测量。一个真正进步的社会，其目标不应该是生产出更多“勇敢的殉道者”，而应该是让这种悲壮的“勇敢”成为不必要——因为每个人的基本尊严与表达自由，已得到制度的保障。
