Summary of Longtime Companion

Hailed as the first mainstream film to put a human face on the AIDS epidemic Longtime Companion is a "remarkable" (Newsweek) drama that takes an honest unflinching look at how this devastating disease changes everyone it touches. "Intelligent unflinching and unpatronizing" (Boxoffice) and starring a "terrific ensemble cast" (Time) including Oscar nominee Bruce Davison Campbell Scott Dermont Mulroney and Mary-Louise Parker this heartrendering yet triumphant film "is an illuminating deeply moving experience" (Los Angeles Time).During the summer of 1981 a group of friends in New York are completely unprepared for the onslaught of AIDS. What starts as a rumor about a mysterious "gay cancer" soon turns into a major crisis as one by one some of the friends begin to fall ill leaving the others to panic about who will be next. As death takes its toll the lives of these friends are forever redefined by an unconditional display of love hope and courage.System Requirements:Starring: Campbell Scott Patrick Cassidy John Dossett Mary-Louise Parker Stephen Caffrey Tanya Berezin Welker White and Michael Piontek. Directed By: Norman Ren? Running Time: 100 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 2000 MGM Studios.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 027616857705

The late director Norman Rene and writer Craig Lucas made a pretty fine creative team on the stage and in the movies, and this 1990 drama about the evolving impact of AIDS on gay New Yorkers is their best cinematic achievement. The ensemble story follows the lives of nine or so characters as word of the so-called "gay cancer" eventually becomes a real force, killing several of them as the years go by. The film works well on a number of levels, not least of which is the enviable closeness of the characters, the script's wit, the bittersweet experience of loss, and a celebratory attitude at the end mixing wisdom with defiance. --Tom Keogh
