| Eden's Curve SYNOPSIS Good looking boys, sexual intrigue, jealousy and violence highlight this poignant coming-of-age drama about a teenager’s complex relationships at college. REVIEW It is 1972 and muscularly handsome blond Peter (Sam Levine) heads off to an exclusive Virginia university, unsure of what to expect. He joins a fraternity house where he meets William (Bryan Carroll), a classics major who has a strong attraction to him. Despite their flirting, however, the reserved Peter becomes romantically involved in a ménâge-à-trois with his roommate Joe (Trevor Lissauer) and Joe’s girlfriend Bess (Amber Taylor). When the trio’s social bliss is disrupted by a violent episode, Peter is taken in and protected by Ian (Julio Perillán), his poetry professor. Recuperating at Ian’s idyllic country house, Peter soon falls in love with his hunky professor. Of course, their hot and heavy affair—which includes skinny-dipping, passionate sex and bathing outdoors—is taboo. When jealousy rears its ugly head, Peter and Ian’s happiness is threatened. Director Anne Misawa has crafted a beautiful and powerful film ripe with sexual tension. Peter’s intense erotic awakening is told with care and compassion, and the fine performances and exquisite cinematography help create a suitably tense and seductive atmosphere. Elegant, sexy, and heartfelt, Eden’s Curve is terrific. Gary Kramer |
