  • Alberto Fuguet – Cola de Mono (2018)

    2011-2020Alberto FuguetChileQueer Cinema(s)Thriller



    Quote:
    Packed to the brim with nudity and graphic gay sex scenes, Cola de Mono takes place on Christmas Eve in 1986 and follows a precocious teen who is put into some seriously compromising positions (literally and figuratively).

    It’s Christmas Eve, 1986, and Borja is a precocious teenager with a passion for film. As his extended family comes together to celebrate the holiday, the combined forces of the suffocating Chilean heat, free-flowing drinks, and repressed desire contribute to the eruption of long-held secrets. This hypnotic story from Chile is both an enticing family melodrama and an explicit erotic thriller about the ways that passion and desire control our lives – from our pop-culture tastes to our sexual fantasies. Title refers both to a eggnog-like drink popular in Chile during the holiday season and a homophobic slur about anal sex.Read More »
