Keep The Lights On Blu Ray – Paprika Steen , Julianne Nicholson

New York-set drama detailing the tumultuous gay relationship between documentary filmmaker Erik (Thure Lindhardt) and the self-destructive, closeted Paul (Zachary Booth). After a brief sexual encounter, the relationship between the two men develops into an on-off eight-year affair defined by heady highs, suffocating lows and deeply dysfunctional emotional patterns. In love but out of his depth, Erik struggles to deal with Paul’s crack cocaine addiction and negotiate his own boundaries while remaining true to himself.

It’s 1997 and filmmaker Erik Rothman (Lindhardt) meets closeted lawyer Paul Lucy (Booth), through an anonymous phone sex line. What starts as casual sex becomes a more permanent relationship as they start to build a life together, whilst each continues to privately battle their own compulsions and addictions. Their greatest challenge is down to Paul’s increasing drug use, which threatens to pull them apart and over the years destroy the relationship. A film about sex, friendship, intimacy and most of all, love, Keep The Lights On takes an honest look at the nature of relationships in our times. Ira Sachs, director of 40 Shades of Blue and Married Life returns with his Teddy Award winning gay drama set in New York City, Keep The Lights On.
