GERONTOPHILIA
In this wry “reverse Lolita” tale, 18-year-old Lake discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate lands him a job at an assisted-living facility where he develops an intimate relationship with Mr. Peabody. Upon discovering that the clients are being over-medicated to make them more manageable, Lake weans Mr. Peabody off his medication and helps him escape, resulting in a road trip that deepens their bond. The always-provocative Bruce LaBruce returns with a delicately perverse romantic comedy that is both darkly humorous and emotionally heartfelt.
“[Bruce LaBruce’s] best film yet! . . . handled with grace, humor and sexiness.” – San Francisco Chronicle
“Bold!”
– Abby Garnett, Village Voice
“Warmhearted, sexually explicit, and tender”
– Richard Brody, The New Yorker
“Marvelously fresh… Gerontophilia has the authentic feel of a little classic”
