It’s Not a Cowboy Movie is a smart French gay short film that uses a schoolyard conversation about Brokeback Mountain to explore masculinity, sexuality and the awkward ways teenagers absorb ideas about being gay. Benjamin Parent keeps the humour gentle and observant, allowing naïve questions and half-formed assumptions to reveal more than any dramatic confrontation could.
Two young men cross paths in a twin bereavement support group. What begins as awkward small talk between two strangers gradually turns into a raw and unexpected friendship. As they navigate the blurry line between healing and holding on, their bond becomes a lifeline neither saw coming.
