Film Review - The Blonde One (2019) 7.3/10
20 September 2020
"A decade after his debut feature PLAN B (2009), Berger has asserted oneself as a supernal intimist in configuring the game of seduction. Juan, a virile, both-ways-swinging satyr, finds Gabriel a low-hanging fruit and proceeds with his tried-and-tested titillation swimmingly, knowingly stoking Gabriel's thigh on the sly, appearing dishabille in front of him accidentally on purpose, gazing him too long with his lip-smacking gaze. A reactive Gabriel absorbs all the signals in full, it is a matter of time that the two consummate their carnal knowledge, short of 35 minutes into the movie, Gabriel yields to Juan's provocative suggestion, but it is always the nonplussing and awkward post-coitus moments that eke out the intrigue which is crucial to keep audience hooked in this gradualistic probe into the delicate equilibrium between two men who are sexual bedfellows."
