Sounds trashy, sounds silly, but first-time director Nicolo Donato, who wrote the screenplay with Rasmus Birch, and a superb ensemble refuse to wink, resulting in a film that constantly subverts expectation.

While training in a neo-Nazi group, 22-year-old former serviceman Lars meets fellow member Jimmy. As the pair grow closer and their friendship develops into something more, Lars and Jimmy are forced to keep their relationship a secret from the intolerant social circle. But when the illicit romance is uncovered, their world comes crashing down.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
Adding hot naked men to a predictable narrative doesn't equal titillating or taboo; it just means you've dressed up a messy melodrama
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Nicolo Donato's bleak yet compelling Brotherhood, an unsparing neo-noir with the structure and inevitability of classic drama.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
If you compared the two main characters with the cowboys in "Brokeback Mountain," they would be ignoble versions of Ennis del Mar (Jimmy) and Jack Twist (Lars). Like their American counterparts, they barely know what to do with their passion.
