Movie Preview: Room in Rome

This post was originally written by me and posted on eurOut and re-posted here with permission.

I don’t know about you all, but when I watch lesbian sex, be it in a movie, television show, or the uh, ‘other variety’, I like it hot, I like it sexy, I like it raw, but most of all, I like it realistic.

See how I avoided the ‘real’ word? The on-screen variety of lesbian sex is never real, not even in that ‘other variety’, it is still acting after all, but if there is one thing that I appreciate, it is the effort people put in to make it look realistic, like the people in the situation make it look like they’re really into the other person and are committed in bringing the best they can to the screen.

So when I heard there was a trailer out for the upcoming movie Room in Rome (Habitación en Roma), that had people watching it multiple times before running to the cold shower, I knew I had to check it out.

I can tell you I was not disappointed.

We’ll get back to that a little later. See how I’m building up the tension? Trust me; you’ll thank me for it later. Room in Rome revolves around “two women who meet in Rome and share a night of lust” in one of their hotel rooms.

Room in Rome

While the movie is set in Rome and it is not the actresses’ native language, the movie is mostly shot in English, save for a little dialogue here and there (Russian and Spanish if I heard correctly in the trailer). Something the lovers of accents all around will surely appreciate.

Now, let me tell you a little about this trailer and movie that has everyone so hot and… well, hot and it is absolutely NSFW, or any public place but the privacy of your own room, preferably bathroom, because you’ll need that cold shower right after.

Based on Matias Bize’s ‘In the Bed’, Room in Rome is Julio Médem’s first English-language film. In the Bed tells the story of a man and a woman sharing a night of passion and secrets. And if the trailer is anything to go by, Julio Médem promises us exactly that, except this time it is between two women and the décor is set in Rome.

The women are Natasha, played by Natasha Yarovenko, and Alba, played by Elena Anaya and the two are absolutely gorgeous together.

Room in Rome

You know what; I’ll let you be the judge of that. Remember though… NSFW or uh, any place but your bathroom with the cold shower already running. Or you know, watch it with your girlfriend. Heck, watch it with your boyfriend, I’m sure it’ll have the same effect on him as it has on you.

The Secret Life Of Bees

I *just* finished watching The Secret Life Of Bees starring Dakota Fanning.

WATCH THIS MOVIE

Like seriously. It is beautifully acted by all. I nearly cried my eyes out at one point (you’ll know when you get there, I don’t want to spoil things). There’s been some talk about the sisters, that the actresses playing them were not right for the parts. That is simply based on having read the book.

I thought they were all wonderful. Usually, unless a movie REALLY closely follows the plot of the book, movies should not be taken as a literal interpretation. You’ll end up being disappointed by nearly every movie that’s based on a book.

Who knew… Julia Stiles

Just watched the Bourne Trilogy. Who knew Julia Stiles could be so cute?

Top 10 Do’s and Don’ts in lesbian movies

I have seen a lot of lesbian movies; from the horrible ‘Go Fish’  (sorry Guinevere and Rose just don’t like that style) to the endearing Imagine Me & You. A lot of these movies are widely talked about on lesbian centered sites (such as AfterEllen.com) and more then once the girls know exactly what is good and… not so good about the films.

10. Don’t make the lesbian the sociopath, we’ve seen enough of those.

09. Don’t have a lesbian in a movie (specifically horror flicks) just to attract people. If the movie is good, people will come.

08. Don’t kill off the lesbian. Seriously, don’t.

07. Don’t make the lesbian fall for the straight best friend. If you HAVE to, at least make it a happy ending.

06. Don’t make being a lesbian the only thing that defines a character.

05. Do make sure there is a certain amount of chemistry between your lead cast. If they don’t believe it, we don’t believe it.

04. Do include a wide range of people, not all of us have a dress size zero.

03. There is more to us then coming out & baby stories.

02. Don’t throw in the stereotypes, we’re as sick of it as the straight people are.

01. And for crying out loud give the lesbian movie a good and proper ending.

These are just a few of the dozens of replies I got when asked this question. I limited myself to 10. Do you think there should be anything else in there? Let me know in the comments, and perhaps we can make it a top 15 (or more).

Mum & Dad

Mum & Dad; that is the name of a new UK horror flick. The trailer is the creepiest thing and the subject is the epitome of what bad parenting is about.
