That Boy

1974, dir. Peter Berlin


“All new from the maker of Nights in Black Leather!”

Iconic gay sex symbol Peter Berlin writes, directs, produces, edits, and stars as Helmut, a German Adonis admired and desired by every person he comes in contact with—including members of the Cockettes—but who only loves the blind boy who can’t judge him for his looks and won’t see them fade with age. But that doesn't stop a photographer, a bodybuilder, and a leather freak from having their own lurid fantasies. One of the more unusual and artistically ambitious films to come out of San Francisco’s gay underground film scene, That Boy is a singular tribute to narcissism.
