Brothers of the Night [Blu-ray]

This is more of a docu-drama than any other genre. It was real guys from Bulgaria, a real nightclub in Vienna and real older "Johns" picking up these "straight" younger guys. What I found interesting is the way in which the director framed the story of these mostly married, straight guys who travel to Bulgaria to be "gay-for-pay", essentially. Some of these guys seemed almost crazy...like violence-crazy. I was struck by how abusively they talk of their wives...paying their families (Fathers, brothers), for them is apparently still a thing in this day and age. They do seem to love their children, but not so much their wives. Violence also seems to be second nature to them and it is incredible how easy they get in to fights,even with each other.There is no sex depicted, whatsoever, and I found this to be more a documentary of a the time they spend in Vienna and a snapshot of this particular moment in their lives. Some of them are still very immature, emotionally, but extremely grown up and worldly in their daily struggle to survive. It's worth a watch if only to give yourself a new perspective of eastern European life for those much less fortunate than we, here in the United States.

Shot entirely in a seedy bar, chain smoking and dialect that have nothing to substance for a story. It's the same thing all over western Europe.

Very moving and well made film

I thought this was a fictional movie when I purchased it. Instead it's a documentary about young men who sell sex. If you are looking for sexual scenes, you won't find it here. Instead it's interviews and what it's like to hang out with these guys. It's uninteresting and boring. I love documentaries, but NOT THIS FILM.

A group of young Bulgarian Roma who move to Vienna in search of freedom, find poverty that drives them to sleep with men for pay. THis was such a jumble or garbage that i have no idea where to start. These men thump their chests and tell each other how masculine they are and how many women they want to have and they all talk about prostitutes so they have to pay for it too, all the while leeping with men and claiming that they are only doing it for the money, it is obvious that most are enjoying it, too. Was this a documentary or some cheap movie? Whichever one it was it was just bad, no one was memorable in any way. Oh, if these men aren't gay why do they like to sleep with each other? Don't bother with this drdeck.

Like one reviewer has already noted, just endless talking ad infinitum! Extremely low budget and no purpose. The last 10 minutes are just dancing around in some bar they frequent to pick up tricks. Other than that, nothing!

I can think of absolutely no redeeming qualities for this movie. From terrible acting to terrible cinematography throughout, this viewed more like an undergraduate level film on a budget of a hundred dollars. I want my money back.

Worst movie ever. Pointless. Characters yammer endlessly about how they are not gay but are gay for pay. I lost brain cells just watching this.

Le réalisateur nous convie dans un documentaire avec une mise en scène en hommage à Fassbinder et Jean Genet. Le défi est réussi, les personnages sont attachants...
