LGBT Film Series at St Bart’s Presents God’s Own Country
Detaylar
Anthony Perrotto hosts a free gay film series sponsored by the LGBTQ+ Community at St. Bart’s, featuring films with gay themes.
Please join us on Friday,May 8th at 6 PM for “God’s Own Country”.
Please enter through St. Bart’s Rectory Door, 109 E 50th Street (between Lexington and Park Avenues).
Following the film, we’ll have dinner at a moderately priced restaurant within walking distance of Saint Barts.
Attendees are asked to bring cash to pay for dinner, as some restaurants do not provide individual checks for large groups. When that happens, it can be extremely difficult to settle the bill if some people are paying by card while others use cash. Depending upon what you order, I would estimate bringing $35-$60 in cash for your meal.
God's Own Country — (2017)
Set in the stark, windswept countryside of Yorkshire, God’s Own Country follows Johnny Saxby, a young, emotionally shut-down farmer numbing himself with alcohol and anonymous sex. His life is defined by isolation, duty, and an inability to articulate tenderness—conditions that may feel hauntingly familiar to many older gay men who came of age in less accepting times.
When Gheorghe, a quiet and self-possessed Romanian migrant worker, arrives to help during lambing season, the film shifts. What begins as a brusque, physical encounter evolves into something far more profound: a slow, almost reluctant awakening to intimacy, care, and emotional honesty.
