Definitely worth viewing - was it shown on Logo??

I bought the movie via Amazon - about $25, but well worth the money since I know I'm going to watch it a lot. It arrived yesterday, and I watched it twice last night - once with subtitles, then again w/o, and I agree with all the positive postings under 'Where are all the fans of this film?' - it deserves a lot more attention. Does anyone out there know whether it has been shown on Logo (gay/'glbt' cable network in the U.S.)? Seems it would be a hit for them -and the exposure would generate renewed interest in the film.

In any case, I think most people who like a good story about the transformative power of love will really enjoy it, particularly if they liked 'Beautiful Thing,' 'You'll Get Over It (A cause d'un Garcon)' or even 'Get Real.' The script is strong and the acting is superb throughout - especially Cyrille Thouvenin. There is some insightful commentary on the film in the postings under the topic "Unconditional Love" on this message board.

This is not to say that JUSTE is a GREAT FILM. It was made for prime time network TV in France almost a decade ago. As such, it was aimed at a general audience and was obviously intended to open that audience's minds about certain aspects of the gay experience. It does not feature any innovative cinematography. There is some interesting symbolism - but it is accessible, not particularly profound, and not of the tree-crashing-between-Tobi-and-his-teammates variety (not to belittle 'Sommersturm' - it's also one of my favorites). It does present some stock characters and is not exactly cliche-free; so the sophisticated gay cineaste should skip it or give it a look for the fine performances by a couple of hot young actors.

Finally, it should be said that JUSTE contains a sequence similar to [but milder than] one in 'You'll Get Over It' that appears to deride the gay-bar-bathhouse scene. And the movie emphasizes that its protagonists appear substantially straight - they're not fairies, femmes, florists or figure skaters. This is somewhat acceptable given the context mentioned above, and (from personal experience) may be a necessary first step for many people before they learn to tolerate, then understand and maybe even embrace gayness in its diverse manifestations.
