Too much of a good thing
6 December 2021
This is a documentary about Paco and Manalo, a gay married couple in Barcelona, who are both photographers, often of naked men. They are best known for their work for Kink magazine. They talk about their life and philosophy. We get to see collages of their work, some of their photo shoots, their work in editing and printing. We also get expositions from some of their models, which could be shortened.

The material is interesting, especially to those who may be interested in photography or male nudes, but at over 100 minutes, it eventually felt too long. I was happy to see this film as a digital screening at the Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ film festival, where I could stop and rewind, so that I could read the subtitles and watch the photo shoot separately, but that made the film even longer. Also, I didn't need the postscript about covid confinement.
