Latin Boys Go to Hell

Directed by Ela Troyano1997USA/Germany/Spain/Japan71 mins

Braulio loves Carlos, who loves working out almost as much as he loves having sex. Carlos wants to have sex with Justin, who won't admit that he's gay, or that he's in love with Angel, who loves Andrea. And Andrea may be the next target of a vicious killer. If it sounds like a soap-opera, that's because life imitates art in Ela (Carmelita Tropicana) Troyano's Latin Boys Go to Hell, and the art that life imitates is steamy Latin soap operas, the kind where women say to their lovers, "I don't care if you're my twin sister's fiancé." Latin Boys is a smart and entertaining take on the ways that pop culture influences the lives of a group of Latinos and Latinas, gay and straight, living in the club culture in Manhat­tan. And underneath all the smart references and the naked flesh, it's a powerful story of a young boy trying to find his way out of the closet.
