Beloved Friend Amic / Amat

"One of the best gay movies made anywhere this year, Pons's touching drama, shot in Barcelona in Catalan, concerns a terminally ill professor who is in love with one of his students, a brilliant but wild orphaned youth who moonlights as a male hustler. This intense and beautifully written film about inheritances and survival benefits from an exceptional cast... All five major roles, all superbly acted by the admirable cast." -Elliott Stein, The Village Voice

"In exploring the notion of personal legacy, the longing to bequeath something lasting after death, Ventura Pons's impassioned movie Amic/Amat (Beloved Friend) goes where no film has gone before. Mr. Pons's work should help dispel the notion that Spanish Cinema begins and ends with Pedro Almodovar." -Stephen Holden, The New York Times
