“Blue Film” is the gay indie that won’t let you look away

The controversial film is much more than its shocking premise, probing sexuality with complete candor

Imagine: You find yourself in the middle of a maze at dusk, trying to make it out before the sun sets, covering everything in a night so blue it erases the corners and horizons, flattening everything into one solid plane that you’re doomed to keep walking until the sun rises again.

It always has. Why would that change now? But logic can’t win out — you don’t even remember how you got into this labyrinth to begin with.
