"This weekend the erotic romantic drama Pillion is finally hitting U.S. theaters. Directed by newcomer Harry Lighton, the film follows Colin (Harry Melling), a meek, shy young man who finds himself in a dom/sub relationship with Ray (Alexander Skarsgård), an alluring older leather biker. Colin then goes on a journey of self-discovery through the world of BDSM and leather, as his relationship with Ray deepens more than either of them expected."
"The movie had a brief qualifying run last year for award season purposes, and became an unexpected critical darling, hitting big across the pond with three BAFTA award nominations. It's been lauded for its two lead performances and for putting an earnest (almost tender!) spin to what many think of as a rather rough and purely sexual world. To celebrate it, this week we'll stay in England just a bit longer,"
Pillion is an erotic romantic drama about Colin, a meek young man who enters a dom/sub relationship with Ray, an older leather biker, and discovers himself through BDSM and leather culture. The film earned critical praise, three BAFTA nominations, and recognition for its two lead performances and tender portrayal of a typically rough subculture. The Leather Boys (1964), directed by Sidney J. Furie, follows newlyweds Dot and Reggie as Reggie grows close to a local biker group, sparking distance in the marriage and an unexpected bond and desire among the bikers. Both films examine leather, intimacy, and queer longing across different eras.
