Movie Reviews of Summer Storm
Movie Review: Coming out to your German rowing team is tough, Man.
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall a nice story about a young man in Germany coming to terms with his homosexuality and how it affects his relationships with his best friend and the rest of his rowing (crew) team, as they compete for a trophy at a summer camp-out. I found some of the situations to be a little contrived and unrealistic, such as when the girl who likes him shows up on a quilt in a field right where and when he chose to run after his first gay intimate encounter with a member of a gay crew club. How could she possibly know he would run right to her? Also, why does his erstwhile best friend decide to get intimate with his girl for the first time in the middle of a violent night-time thunderstorm in the woods, after the team has just fishished a search for a missing team member? There are also some continuity problems, and just when you think the movie has ended there's a cutsie tacked-on post-script. But, some good acting and some very emotionally raw and real-feeling scenes among a great young cast make this movie worth a look.
Summary of Summer Storm
Tobi and Achim have been best friends for years. As cox and oarsman they have helped their team win several rowing cups in the past and are now looking forward to the big regatta in the countryside. But this trip is no summer camp and the first problems soon arise. As Achim's relationship with his girlfriend grows more serious Tobi starts to realize that his feelings for Achim run deeper than he's willing to admit to himself. He feels confused unsure of himself and increasingly left out. When the much-anticipated Berlin girls' team is being replaced by a team of athletic cliche-busting young gay men Tobi and his teammates are suddenly forced to grapple with their prejudices their fears and perhaps their hidden longings. As the tension grows Tobi Achim and the others head toward a confrontation as fierce and ultimately as liberating as the summer storm gathering over the lake.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?796019795456 Manufacturer No:?79545Art House & International DVD Video
