I was looking forward to this film but it turned out to be terrible. At first, I actually thought the film must have been mislabeled. I thought 'this can't be the right film." But finally the title came on, and I had to accept that this was the film.
The impression I got was that the writer/director used a lot of drugs and got what seemed like a good idea but the execution was surreal. It felt like a hallucination of a film. They start out back in time in 1937 with a group of famous gay writers and artists who have allegedly been invited to a 7 day conference but then they get told it's really an assignment to figure out how to solve the problems of gay people in the future (via an exploding tape cassette recording). Then they jump forward to 1987 and show the Canadian Mounties going after gays in urinals and then there's a scientific review of the evolution of urinals and all toilet facilities. And one guy who is going to infiltrate the police etc.
At various times there's artistic coloring of the faces, as if someone is drawing on them or imagining drawing colors on the faces. It was just too bizarre for me.
The only good thing I can say about it is the people playing the group of gay artists in 1937 were all good and a good film could have been made of that scene, but it got hijacked by all the other bizarre elements...
