Bulgarian Lovers

... is recommended. TLA Video has this to say:

Eloy de la Iglesia’s ... latest film is an elegantly filmed and splashy return to cinematic prominence with this story of a love between a middle-aged Spanish gay man and a younger “straight” Bulgarian hunk. Daniel is a well-off accountant who welcomes Kyril into his bedroom and into his life. Kyril is a refugee from Bulgaria who has mysterious sources of income, but an incredible body and a charming smile. In Daniel’s social circle this type of relationship is common, one based on mutual needs rather than an equal partnership. There are two parallel stories - the thriller revolves around the mysterious contents of a bag Kyril stashes at Daniel’s parent’s house, a stolen car and mysterious bundles of money. While the thriller propels the film forward, under the surface is the love story between these two men and Kyril’s girlfriend who arrives to come between them.

With terrific scenes in gay clubs, at a Bulgarian country wedding and at Daniel’s parent’s spectacular country home, De la Iglesia gives us a truly unique journey with even a tad of magical realism thrown in for good measure. Featuring ample nudity, sex and even a trip to a male bathhouse, Bulgarian Lovers is sure to arouse as well as entertain. (Spanish with English subtitles)

( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
