Out

Tom and Ajani yearn for the moment they can leave their small-minded, rural town in the Netherlands and be open about their relationship and identities. But when the two young men move to Amsterdam to enroll in film school, they find themselves enmeshed in an explosive and relentless queer scene that challenges their ideas of who they are and what they want. Dripping with sleek style and shot in sumptuous black and white cinematography, recalling such classic monochromatic films about wayward youth as Gus Van Sant’s Mala Noche, Out presents gay nightlife as a seductive creature that lures newcomers in and turns everything upside down, especially for those unaccustomed to a world that not only embraces you, but desires you.
