On Swift Horses, a new film premiering at the Toronto Film Festival, explores the queer-coded romance between characters Julius and Henry amid the restrictive norms of the 1950s.
The film's director, Daniel Minahan, known for his work on Game of Thrones, delivers dreamlike queer sex scenes that heighten the emotional and intimate connection between characters.
Adapted from Shannon Pufahl's novel, the narrative delves into lost love and secrecy, showcasing how queer desires shaped lives under the societal pressures of the era.
In On Swift Horses, characters struggle with their identities and relationships, as Julius finds himself torn between gambling, his sister-in-law's yearning, and a romantic affair with Henry.
