BPM is a moving, beautifully executed film. I am an older gay man who survived this terrible time in our history. I lost most of my close friends to the virus and I remain haunted by the experience to this day.
The interesting thing about this film, in spite of its tragic elements, is that it is life affirming. It is about healing through activism and the power of truth over indifference and prejudice.
It is also a beautiful, erotic love story.
It is truly one of the finist films about this subject ever made and should be seen by everyone.
