Eloy de la Iglesia’s (El Diputado) latest film is an elegantly filmed and splashy return to cinematic prominence with this story of love between a middle-aged Spanish gay man and a younger “straight” Bulgarian hunk.  Daniel is a well-off accountant who welcomes Kyril into his bedroom and into his life.  Kyril is a refugee from Bulgaria who has mysterious sources of income, but an incredible body and a charming smile.  In Daniel’s social circle this type of relationship is common, based on mutual needs rather than on equal partnership.  There are two parallel stories -- the thriller revolves around the mysterious contents of a bag Kyril stashes at Daniel’s parents' house, a stolen car and mysterious bundles of money.  While the thriller propels the film forward, under the surface is the love story between these two men and Kyril’s girlfriend who arrives to come between them.  With terrific scenes in gay clubs, at a Bulgarian country wedding and at Daniel’s parents' spectacular country home, De la Iglesia gives us a truly unique journey with even a tad of magical realism thrown in for good measure.  Features nudity, sex and even a trip to a male bathhouse. WINNER:  2003 Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival Best Feature Film Award. RUN TIME:  101 Minutes Spanish - English subtitles Not Rated     Bulgarian Lovers - Official WebSite
