Sebastian - BLU-RAY

Stripped of rank and exiled to a remote Sardinian outpost, Roman soldier and suspected Christian Sebastian (Leonardo Treviglio) becomes the object of his commanding officer Maximus' (Barney James) aggressive desire. As Sebastian turns his back on his fellow soldiers in favor of his own visionary mystical longings, the sun-bleached Mediterranean idyll becomes a psycho-sexual hothouse where predatory desire and religious longing set the stage for a shocking tableau of death and martyrdom. Sebastiane caused a riot when it premiered at the Locarno Film Festival, and was a surprise hit upon it's initial in the UK. Remastered in HD and available for the first time on Blu-ray, Sebastiane is both a milestone in British independent film and a pioneering work of modern LGBT cinema.

In this queer drama, we follow Max, a 25-year-old freelance writer and aspiring novelist who seems well on his way to success in London's cultural spheres. Yet by night, he finds a different kind of exhilaration as a S*x worker with the pseudonym Sebastian, meeting men via an escorting . Max uses his experiences as Sebastian to fuel his stories, and the worthy debut novel that he has been longing to write finally seems within reach. As Max increasingly struggles to remain in control of a delicately balanced double-life, he must reckon with whether Sebastian is merely a writer's tool in their quest for the ultimate sense of first-hand authenticity or whether something more is at stake.
