While not necessarily a gay film, Paternal is probably one of the most beautiful films at this year's film festival. With a spiritually, cinematic style that reminds one of the late, great Andrei Tarkovsky, Paternal has the slow pans and meditative, cinematic moments of Sven Nykvist.
In Paternal, father and son live together atop a mountain where they have always lived a life of depending on one another against a storybook setting. When Boris begins to have problems with his girlfriend and in turn his father, a decision must be made that could forever change all relationships involved.
Paternal is a beautiful film that analyzes the relationships between father and son and the outside world and transcends the standard coming of age film.
