'Furious Desires' DVD: Five Short Films on Lust and Love


TLA Releasing goes full art house regarding the September 26, 2017 DVD release of the gay-themed 2017 Spanish short-film anthology "Furious Desires." These five short subjects address very aspects of longing and devotion with heavy doses of relevant messages for anyone even near the gay end of the Kinsey scale.

The following YouTube of the clever music video style trailer for "Desires" offers a glimpse of the good style and sensual aspects of the film.


"Daytime Doorman" strongly starts things with a tale of an openly gay man pursuing a friendship with benefits with a straight married doorman  at his apartment complex. The complications extend beyond the public sexuality of the doorman to issues related to class that include the doorman being good enough for flip-flop sex but apparently not good enough to socialize with the friends of the resident.

The smooth flow of the films begins with second entry "Xavier," which involves the father of a young teen boy noticing the longing glances that his son is directing at older boys. Watching the boy gaze adoringly provides great entertainment.

The very cute "The Tigers Fight" centers around an annual festival with a strong courting ritual. Much of the action involves discussion of one straight relationship moving to the next level; the climax involves two boys in adorable festival-oriented outfits facing off in an encounter regarding which one lad is understandably very nervous and the other is initially amusingly naive.

The series ends with the very strong "Loris is Fire." This one centers around a cute 20-something couple, A central focus of the action is one of the boys trying to hook up with a more experienced man for the sake of the aforementioned relationship.

The nice thing of all this is it younger guys should see themselves and those in their lives in the characters and older men will get a good sense of nostalgia.
