A bleak look on male (suppressed) sexuality

I didn&apos;t see Berger&apos;s latest film &apos;Perro Perro&apos; yet. But compared to his other films this film shows us a way more pessimistic Marco Berger. He still sees the beauty in men but he also sees that the general toxic male sense of self is doing way more harm than good. We see a group of young men. All in the prime of their lives. All with fit, athletic, virile bodies. But they don&apos;t know how to be kind with each other. They are afraid of intimacy with other men. Mind you, they are non stop intimate with each other. But they cross boundaries and they are rather violent about it. And they make sexist, homophobic jokes to excuse their behaviour. They play with the idea of gay sex, with the idea of having sex with each other. But just as quickly they wave it away and by doing so they make it something dirty and nasty. Something that&apos;s not acceptable. This is not only harmful for the heterosexual men in the group but also and even more so for the men who actually have bisexual or homosexual feelings and longings. Again Berger ends the film with a sudden climax. It could have been a romantic hopeful climax but Berger in 2022 saw the damage that&apos;s still being done to male&apos;s emotions and identities. The innocent romantic homosexual male, with his view-master (the view-master is a returning prop, a returning metaphor in Marco Berger&apos;s films) is present in this film. But the other forces, the dominant force of men suppressing their emotions and feelings are too strong for this guy to be free. One of the last shots was when he put his view-master in a suitcase. Meaning he&apos;ll go find other realities, he&apos;ll travel, he&apos;ll go away to be able to be himself.
