I've never seen any of the film at the annual gay and lesbian film festival Frameline before. No one has ever invited me until now and you can't tell if its worth taking an afternoon off to see a film from when all you have is a paragraph long description.

This year though, Michael invited me to come along and with them and looking through the program guide I found a frame of reference for the first time. So last night we went to see The bubble from Yossi and Jagger director Eytan Fox.

Having seen Yossi and Jagger and reading the description of this as a modern Romeo and Juliet set in Tel Aviv I wasn't expecting a happy ending, but neither was I expecting something which would be haunting me today the way it did. There is probably a lot lost in translation about Israeli life and culture, but it was still hilarious at times and in the end left me in tears and left me in awe.

It was brilliant. Tomorrow it's Rick & Steve the Happiest Gay Couple in All the World, a film I picked because the picture was cute and I hope it will leave me with more joy than sorrow.
