Bulging, oiled,and exposed? Are you sure this isn't a film for gays?
Bulging muscles, oiled up for competition, bodybuilding culture, good and bad, exposed; is what it is about, but that's not what's implied in the review. I'm pretty sure the writer intended to interest gay folks into watching the film. None of the cast acted gay at all. There's not even much camaraderie. It's seems likely that most if not all of these fellows did not know each other before the filming commenced. There's no sex gay or straight. Just a bunch of guys into bodybuilding doing what bodybuilders do. (with the exception of anabolic steroids). If you find something gay about the film, I must have missed it completely. It's probably a G rated film. One which many dedicated bodybuilders and a handful of GB folks can relate to.
"Jean-François, Ronald, Alexis, Cédric, Benoit, and Maxim are gladiators of modern times. From the strongman to the top-class bodybuilder, to the veteran who has become a trainer, they all share the same definition and obsession: overcoming the limitations of their bodies. They are waiting for the next competition, slaving away in the gym, and following extreme diets. A Skin So Soft is a free exploration of the regimented daily lives of these misunderstood monsters."
