This Danish film is one of my two current favorites of gay cinema (the other is the Argentine film PLAN B, which I will review asap). BROTHERHOOD is the most beautiful, passionate, erotic film I have ever seen. I recommend it with all the force I can! For a large portion of the film, the 2 main characters do not live lives that I can call admirable. Lars, a tow-headed guy who has recently served in the military, is joining a Neo-Nazi group, obviously drawn to those who think and act like Hitler did. They attack and bash routinely Pakistani citizens and homosexuals.
Lars meets Jimmy, a full-on skinhead. At first Lars and Jimmy dislike each other, but when they begin to collaborate on improving a house for the movement, they find themselves (gasp!) attracted to each other. The love scenes are amazing because of the acting, the chemistry and the yearning musical score.
When the lovers realize that they are living and loving every way their hate group believes is wrong and "unnatural," they are forced to make fateful decisions that may cost them their lives.
It left me speechless and heartbroken, but the tagline is true: Love conquers all.
