Edgy, absorbing and raw, writer-director Joseph Graham’s Beautiful Something takes a fresh and unsentimental look at the links between young and old, black and white, sex and love and desire and art.
Cute, 22-year-old writer Brian (Brian Sheppard) continually crashes and burns with each guy he meets, but does not understand why.
The stunningly gorgeous Jim (Zack Ryan) is not afraid to break hearts – except when it comes to Drew (recent Best Actor Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo!), a 40-something lover and world-renowned metal sculptor who can’t seem to look past his latest masterpiece.
Lastly there’s Bob (John Lescault), a successful talent agent from Los Angeles. Now in his mid-sixties, he leads a double life as a sugar daddy for the random young men he picks up.
All four of these characters comb the streets looking for connection. While they often settle for quick and dirty sexual shenanigans, there’s something in the air on this particular night that suggests the outcome will be much different.
Gorgeously directed by Graham (whose electrifying breakthrough film Strapped is also available now on Dekkoo), Beautiful Something tells bold and unflinchingly honest stories about sexually-charged gay life in the most compassionate and understanding way possible.
