If you're able to take this movie out of context, meaning look beyond the homophobia lurking between the lines and the attitude of people during the early sixties towards homosexuality, you can enjoy it. it's a love story, nothing more. two heterosexual men, one engaged to be married another trying to find his way in life, meet during one summer. they fall in love. from then begins their lifelong love affair and them both trying to hide it under the normality of acceptable lives: wives, children, jobs. it's poignant and strikes a chord. i think it's a must see just to pay homage to heath ledger, who acted extremely well and the chemistry between the lead actors is magnetic.
