A pair of British
lads, one gay and one socialist, chafe at the restrictions of boarding
school life in this period piece, which was adapted from Julian Mitchell's
novel and play of the same name and loosely based on the Burgess-Maclean
spy scandal of the 1950s. In the 1930s, upper-class scions Tommy Judd
(Colin Firth) and Guy Bennett (Rupert Everett) are both nearing the end
of their careers at an unnamed public school that bears a striking resemblance
to Eton. Tommy, a Marxist intellectual, refuses to participate actively
in the school's rigid social hierarchy. But Guy, when not mooning after
pretty boys, angles for a position next term as one of the "gods," or
master prefects, of his house. When a faculty member stumbles onto the
homosexual fumblings of a pair of students, one boy commits suicide and
a scandal erupts. The administration and senior students do their best
to ensure nothing of this sort ever sullies their reputation again. Considering
that homosexual experimentation is rampant and that Guy has slept with
most of the prefects in his house, the strict new rules leave a bad taste
in his mouth. They also put a damper on his Wildean lifestyle, especially
after he falls hopelessly in love with James Harcourt (Cary Elwes), a
dreamy boy from one of the other houses. Things come to a head when autocratic
prefect Fowler (Tristan Oliver) intercepts a letter from Guy to James
and sentences Guy to a savage beating. By film's end, Guy's complicity
in the power games of the British class system has been challenged, and
his friend Tommy's communist dogma has made a lasting impression; a framing
device portrays Guy as an elderly former spy living in exile in Soviet
Moscow. Another Country was shot at Cambridge, Oxford, and Althorp Hall
(Princess Diana's childhood home) after the producers were denied permission
to shoot at Eton.
Gay men tend to hide or exile to a very private corner, or another country
for an obvious simple reason, which is society is not as favorably structured
for them as for heterosexuals. In our time, Guy at least could exile to
countries such as Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, Canada, or
even Massachusetts USA. Stay way from California for now. Moscow is absolutely
not a wise option. Another
