Peep the Explicitly Funny Lurid Gay Comedy Getting all the Sundance Buzz
Share
One of the movies getting the biggest buzz out of the Sundance Film Festival taking place in Park City Utah this week is a funny, shocking, and thoughtful examination of modern, self-hating gay men called Rotting in the Sun.
And it also apparently showcases a lot of cock.

Starring Instagram funny man Jordan Firstman and directed by gay Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Silva, Rotten centers around a closeted man [Silva] who heads to the beach one afternoon into a secluded enclave where gay guys hook up in a scene that is over the top and explicitly lurid.

Here he meets another man [Firstman] after saving him from drowning. He then attempts to capitalize on the serendipitous encounter to try and seduce the director and pitch him on a TV series. The movie is funny and sincere and moves in surprisingly dark places and gives Firstman as an actor an incredible first time star turn.
