DVD: “Weekend” now available

Two men meet at a gay club and spend 48 hours together that will affect them forever.

This beautifully acted film is the breakout feature from British writer-director-editor Andrew Haigh. A tale of a one-night-stand that develops into a weekend-long experience for two very different young men. It’s an emotionally naked film that’s both a snapshot of the complexities of contemporary gay living and a universal portrait of a love affair. 

Andrew Haigh’s bittersweet romance won countless accolades for the affecting, naturalistic performances from actors Tom Cullen and Chris New.

One of last year’s most compelling dramas is now available on DVD or rent it on iTunes.

Movie: “Weekend”

A one-night stand that becomes something more – an unconventional love story between two young men trying to make sense of their lives.

On a Friday night after hanging out with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a nightclub, alone and on the pull. Just before closing time he picks up Glen. And so begins a weekend – in bars and in bedrooms, getting drunk and taking drugs, telling stories and having sex – that will resonate throughout their lives.

The NY Times: “Perfectly realised. A bracing, present tense exploration of sex, intimacy and love.”

LA Weekly: “A small, perfect thing. Likely a classic.”

Chicago Tribune: “Weekend is one of the year’s very best in any genre.”

Chicago Sun-Times: “This is a smart, sensitive, perceptive film. It underlines the difficulty of making connections outside our individual boxes of time and space.”
