Clapham Junction (2007 TV Movie)
7/10
Anything Goes London Going To Hell
14 November 2017
There is definitely a "made for TV" feel for this production, yet at the same time it had several interesting and revealing aspects. The film centers around a number of people who either live near Clapham Junction, or those who pass through the Heath or "park" (an area known as a gay meeting site) for one reason or another. London today is notoriously liberal and pro-gay almost to the point of being visited by thought police to insinuate otherwise, and the plot centers around several gay men who range from open or "out", closeted (married to women), discovering and even self-loathing. Yet London is also full of random violence, as it is a big city with a very drunken population at any given time; a theme which manifests itself throughout this piece. I'm not a prude, but the male nudity in this piece went beyond gratuitous and bordered on obscene (there was absolutely no reason for the last scene with the young actor). So, somewhat interesting, but creepy in a "getting hit-on by your uncle" way.
