Bizarre doesn't even begin to describe this one

Film about two hustlers in Portland--Mike Waters (River Phoenix) who's narcoleptic and more experienced Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves). They become friends. Waters is desperate to find his biological mother who abandoned him and Favor is rejecting the rich family he was bought up in. They grow closer and closer and start to fall in love...but they're both str8 or are they?

VERY strange but interesting. I had trouble understanding it at first but I eventually figured it out. The acting by the late Phoenix (who was taken from us at far too young an age) is great while Reeves is just OK. Beautifully directed by Gus Van Sant. Also despite the film is about two male hustlers there's very little nudity or sexual content. Strange but intriguing.
