Not sure why I love this movie so much. It might be River Phoenix's stellar work. Or the fact that it's the best thing that Keanu Reeves has ever done. Gus Van Sant's directing is wonderful, including a few minutes of actual interviews with rent boys, seamlessly sewn into the plot. It's adult material - probably the only story of a narcoleptic rentboy you'll ever find. With highly unusual and unexpectedly tasteful sex scenes. It feels authentic, it speaks loudly with a clear voice, and it's sensitive and warm. I guess that's why I like it so much.
