God's own country (2017)

Also Known As: Seule la terre
Year of first release: 2017
Director: Francis Lee
Actors: Josh O'Connor, Alec Secareanu
Country: GB
Genre: Romance, Drama
Conditions of visioning: 23.10.2017, Schauburg, OV Sneak Preview, English version with German subtitle
Synopsis: Spring. Yorkshire. Young farmer Johnny Saxby (O'Connor) numbs his daily frustrations with binge drinking and casual sex, until the arrival of a Romanian migrant worker Gheorghe (Secareanu) for lambing season ignites an intense relationship that sets Johnny on a new path.
Review: Since End of 2014 the same-sex marriage is legal in the United Kingdom. This has the effect of showing homosexuality freely, and not only in the hype London. The movie has almost no dialogue and shows that homosexuality is everywhere but never in public. In the countryside. In the toilets of pubs. Original and modern topic.
But I don't see the story. The Gheorghe arrives at Johnny's house, they fuck here, they fuck there, Gheorghe moves out. Not enough for me!
The images of the rainy country side have some kind of romantic.
Rating: 3 /10
