BOY MEETS BOY: Have You Ever Fallen In Love In One Day?

The new gay-themed film Boy Meets Boy asks the question, “Have you ever fallen in love in one day?” The feature, directed by Daniel Sanchez Lopez, is an intimate view of contemporary gay culture showing the fears and fragilities of the millennial queer generation and seeks to empower them to be critical of the normative. Starring Matthew James Morrison and Alexandros Koutsoulis, Boy Meets Boy is about coming out of the “second closet” meaning the search for inclusion and identity within a community.

Official synopsis:

Harry has been partying for 48 hours when he meets Johannes on the dance floor of a club in Berlin. With 15 hours until his flight home, Johannes offers to help him print his boarding pass. This mundane task leads to a day together wandering the city. The contrasts in their lives and values force each one to confront their own truths.

Set in the streets of Berlin, Boy Meets Boy uses documentary footage to blend the characters among real places and people giving it striking authenticity. The premise of the film did remind some of the acclaimed 2011 film Weekend.

“Even though society is much more accepting of Johannes/Harry than the Weekend couple, the same issues of internalized homophobia and gay stereotypes still emerge. The vibrant chemistry between the two actors and the exciting cosmopolitan Berlin make this film a standout.” – Bay Area Reporter

“Boy Meets Boy is light on action and long on talk, and that’s fine since the dialogue is interesting and sometimes provocative.” – San Jose Mercury News

“”Frequent close-ups build on the chemistry between the actors to capture that feeling when one individual suddenly seems bigger and brighter and louder than everything else in the world. It is by turns celebratory and sweetly melancholic, but always a pleasure to watch.” – Eye For Film
