ZERO PATIENCE
Review
An unexpectedly outrageous and satiric musical-comedy about life in the age of AIDS. The story centers around "Patient Zero" -- the one man who supposedly brought AIDS to North America and helped rapidly spread it with his promiscuous sexual activity. Director Greyson brings the man back to life, and in an effort to restore his name, elicits the help of 19th- century explorer, now 20th-century AIDS researcher, Sir Richard Burton. A strange plot in a film that features several bizarre musical routines, inventively choreographed and sporting wittily queer lyrics. Audaciously political, inventive, AIDS/HIV-informative and queerly radical.
