The DVD of the outrageously funny dark comedy about the politics and science of "AIDS."

Three hilarious and outrageous stories about gay characters in desperate situations paint a very disturbing picture of the epidemic. Celia Farber, whose investigative AIDS reporting has appeared in Spin and Harper's Magazine, called it "a futuristic nightmare that is by turns exasperating, shocking, poignant and even gravely funny." This ground-breaking movie will have you questioning everything you've ever been told about "AIDS."

"Intensely cerebral. Intensely clever. Intensely funny."
--Valendar F. Turner, the Perth Group

"Every element of the film is first-rate."
--John Lauritsen, Author of "The AIDS War"

"The movie is a profound and funny look into the abyss that AIDS has become."
--Jonathan Campbell, Medical Writer

"This digital production makes an important start in the use of theatre to deconstruct the evil edifice of AIDS orthodoxy."
--Joan Shenton, Meditel Productions

This bold, uncompromising film is based on one of the best collections of gay fiction in our time. In the tradition of the great underground films, "The Last Lovers on Earth" uses humor and satire to speak truth to power. The film presents three hilarious and outrageous stories about gay characters trapped in one of the worst medical and political catastrophes of our times. The stories focus on a gay man who nobody would love until he got very sick, an AIDS activist who turned AIDS into a deadly three-ring circus, and a gay couple who survive the AIDS epidemic by not following the directions of the AIDS activists and the gay leaders.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant. Hilarious. Terrifying.
On the cusp between humor and terror, The Last Lovers on Earth brings to fruition the techniques of underground films, Brechtian drama, and the Theater of the Ridiculous. There are three stories (or parables) told in rotation. Each makes an incisive point, and the film as a whole makes one huge point -- a simple message, which few gay men have dared to apprehend. Every element of the film is first-rate: the words of poet Charles Ortleb, the acting, the direction, the original illustrations, the music, and the editing.
