can't remember the name of it, a german film. A lonely woman gets involved with a Polish guy that sells cigrettes at the train station illegally on the weekends. They become lovers and he stays at her flat when he's in Germany, then she gets pregnant and he tells her he's married. Anyway, the disturbing part for me is that he abandons her and she goes into labour and they do a c-section but the baby is still-born and the nurses tell her to get over it and go home. I still cry when I think of her distress.

Description:
When a series of brutal killings of young male hustlers awaken the police to the threat of a serial killer, rookie detective Raymond Vates and his partner, detective Tom Ellis, must battle an intolerant police department that is indifferent to what it calls 'misdemeanor killings.' Jack is the killing machine--a drifter who has come to town on the way to somewhere else--stalking the nighttime streets of L.A. seeking out the runaways and other lost souls who gather around the hot glow of Hollywood’s neon underworld--leaving a wake of bodies behind him.

However it seems the killer has his eyes on a bigger prize, Vates himself. On a careless whim, Vates sets himself up as the new target of the serial killer's wrath. When his stolen badge implicates him in one of the murders, Vates is suspended from the police force and must admit to a dark secret and reveal his curious relationship with the killer. Vates, now forsaken and isolated by all, must venture out to clear his name.

Qvamp says:

"This bleak and gritty thriller portrays a relationship between a serial killer and a closeted detective. This movie really has something important to say and says it in a very powerful way.

While this movie is very graphic, both in terms of the violent subject matter, and in the gay male sexuality, the real focus of the movie is on the homophobia in society. We see it in many ways, for example, the police force's lack of concern about 'gay murders', their open hostility and violence of a gay cop. Warning though, this movie is not for the squeamish or the homophobic.

Hard even alludes to how internalized homophobia can lead to the creation of murderers. Parts of the movie reference both fictional queer murders - such as Silence of the Lambs and real murderers. In one seen, we see a scene inspired by Jeffrey Dahmer's exploits, where the cops are confronted with an obvious crime, but leave the victim with the murderer. The movie makes it clear that a combination of internalized homophobia and hyper-masculinity is a deadly combination.

Another inspired part of the film involves a cameo by Mitchell Grobeson, the first cop to come out in LA. During this cameo, he shows how true-to-life this movie could be as he outlines the problems he had coming out as a cop in the LAPD.

This movie is a great addition to the queer thriller genre and is recommended for those that want a well made gay psychological thriller."
