Black Sheep (1995)

Storyline

A narrator’s voice tells stories, primarily about meeting or being with boys who are almost men. As he talks, we see various boys, usually isolated on a beach, in vacant cityscapes, in rooms or in bed. They take off their jackets, shirts, shoes, and trousers; they wear white Jockey briefs. These portraits are sometimes interrupted by two or three performers who move, speak, dance, and cavort, making sport of male interactions. The narrator’s stories become erotically more explicit and more introspective: he discusses Meher Baba’s view of the problem of sex; he admits to wanting full control over these youths to be freed from real relationships. Fantasies evaporate.
