Ander gay movie
Gay movie.
I don’t understand why homosexuality appeared in a nature, so I didn’t like this movie.
Technically everything is OK with this movie. Montage is superb, actors do their career, nature is beautiful, emotions are conveyed. Movie consists of three parts: 1. Ander, 2. Ander and Jose, 3. Ander, Jose and Reme.
Ander is a farmer living in a village. His routine is destroyed by broken his leg, so family has to hire somebody for working in a farm. That’s how Jose, immigrant from Peru, come to a family. Reme is grass widow growing her son. Ander with his local friend usually leave to Reme for amusement.

Gėjiškas filmas.
Kai nesuprantu, kodėl gamtoje atsirado homoseksualizmas, tai ir filmas nepatiko.
Šiaip techniškai su juo viskas gerai. Montažas geras, aktoriai dirba savo darbą, gamta graži, emocijos perteiktos. Pats filmas susideda iš trijų dalių, techniškai išskirtų: 1. Ander, 2. Ander ir Jose, 3. Ander, Jose ir Reme.
Ander - kaime gyvenantis ūkininkas, kurio darbus sujaukia lūžusi koja. Šeima negali kitaip išsiversti tik pasisamdyti ką kitą dirbti. Taip ateina į namus jaunuolis Jose, imigrantas iš Peru. O Reme yra gyvanašlė auginanti sūnų, pas kurią Ander su
Ander an unusual cherish story in the Basque country
Love stories between forty-somethings are quite rare, and those set in rural communities are even rarer. Append the fact that in Ander [+see also:

film profile], the story is predominantly told in Basque and the two protagonists are both men, and you’ve got a unique product. It plays in the Panorama section at the Berlinale.
In the Basque countryside, Ander (Josean Bengoetxea) lives a calm life with his sister (Leire Ucha) and mother (Pilar Rodriguez). Things adjust with the arrival of the unused farmhand José (Cristhian Esquivel, last seen in a petty but important role in Steven Soderbergh’s Che [+see also:

film profile]). José is Peruvian, but that is not the only thing that is different about this outsider.
The film was initiated and produced by Berindu, a service of the Department of Social Affairs of the Basque Government that works with the local GLBT collective. It was written and directed by Roberto Caston, the director of the Gay and Sapphic Film Festival in Bilbao and the author of several shorts.
“The film was born out of necessity,” explains Caston. “GLBT films slowl

Review
‘BrokeBasque Mountain’, anyone? Though truthfully, this rustic romance from Spain's northern fringes owes a lot more to quiet American indies fond of ‘The Station Agent’ than to Ang Lee’s taboo-breaking blockbuster, a tender, tentative gay subplot notwithstanding. It's a film about acceptance and self-worth, not just for lonely cattle farmer Ander (Bengoetxea), but also his immigrant farmhand José (Esquivel) and abandoned prostitute Remé (Rívera). The plot may verge on soap, the emotions clearly signposted and a mite manipulative, but these are the hallmarks of a writer-director who cares too deeply for his characters: ‘Ander’ is a warm, generous, wonderfully sympathetic piece of work.

The brightest moment of my visit to the 24th BFI London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival was undoubtedly Ander. Roberto Castón's unassuming portrait of repressed homosexuality is nestled snugly in the beautiful Basque countryside, arriving firmly grounded in reality and riddled with traditional Spanish flavour. When listening to a filmmaker talk about his own function it's always worth having an eye-brow firmly cocked, and when writer and director Castón arrived before the evaluating to talk of his film's "honesty" and "characters that resembled real people," I took it all with a pinch of salt. But, just a few minutes after the projector began to whir I was completely convinced. The people and places in Ander hit a flawless note of realism which speaks to the viewer's experiences more than the raw vérité of documentaries ever could.
Couched in the setting of the BFI's festival, it was obvious that Ander would deal with gay issues, but for the first third there's no real indication of any kind of homosexual theme. Much of this initial portion is used to establish our titular lead, Ander – his home-life, his sex-life, and his personality. He is a balding for
