Very disappointing...

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Powerful, delicate, strange. Slices of stories and one character. A film about love, deep refuges and truth. An ashes lake. It is not a film about the gay life in Nazi period. It is only invitation to choose. And to make the words basic facts. That is all. The movie, and the play, is more than a picture of a form of reality. It is more than a testimony, accusation or manifesto. It is reflection of many forms of silence. About the life as an old apple. About the evening without any morning. About the night of gestures and sleep of feelings. "Bent" is great for the traces after its end. Everybody may be Max or Horst or Rudy or the sadistic Nazi. It is simple. Cruel of simple. But this mirror of personal soul is more a game, more a joke. It is not a complicated film. In fact, it is another old Greek tragedy. A tragedy without end. Must see!

I was an extra in this film, when I was 11 or 12 years old. I'm 24 now, but at the time I was a member of a local casting agency and me and another friend Lee found ourselves as part of the small group of children that had to paddle about in the water in the scene where the soldiers and prisoners march by. From what I recall it was a days worth of filming and I had to have my step cut out from my hair (it was the style back then!)but it was a really interesting experience. I remember the day being boiling hot but being treated really nicely by the production staff. It makes me laugh now at how blaze I was that this film starred the talents of Sir Ian McKellen and Clive Owen amongst others, but as an 11 year old I didn't know who they were! I was disappointed not to be credited at the end, that would have really proved to my friends that I have been in a film (albeit a very very small blink and you miss it moment!).

The movie is gorgeous! I think. I especially like the part the two guys stood there and make love to each without touching and looking at each other...touching your emotion actually...the desperate suicide committed by the man was unavoidable and sad...'yes, I love you; yes'...a confirmation of love is more than thousands of words...nice movie! 10 lines comments? wow, too critical for a good movie review...the Gettysburg address by Abraham Lincoln was short but convincible!powerful.The movie is gorgeous!

Bent was a movie i was once familiar with but have never seen due to it's NC-17 rating but i caught the R rated version and it was a good film. The beginning of the film was starting to steer me in the wrong direction but about twenty minutes in this film becomes engaging,sad,and powerful. Clive Owen gives an amazing performance in this film his character goes through many changes and Clive Owen adapts to each change. This film somewhat reminded me of Broke Back Mountain, not because of the homosexuality but how it is portrayed in both films it is portrayed in love, during the time periods of both films homosexuality was a forbidden love and that is what both films are about. Overall if you can stand some slowness and some bizarreness ( Mick Jaggar is in drag and sings all in the first five mins.) Bent is a film well worth watching. This movie deserves in R rating, there is a scene of pretty strong Sexual dialog and the violence may not be prominent but when it is on scree it can be extreme at times also there is some language.
