Homo Box Office: And since we're all looking for distractions, here are three more gay films I thoroughly enjoyed:

First up is "Sebastian," Mikko Mäkelä's drama about an aspiring young writer (Ruaridh Mollica) in London who begins living a double life as an escort in order to research his debut novel.

Then I watched Mäkelä's debut feature, "A Moment in the Reeds," which is about a young Finnish man (Janne Puustinen) who returns for the summer to help renovate his family's lake house. There, he meets and befriends his father's handyman, Tareq (Boodi Kabbani) -- a recent asylum seeker from Syria -- and the two spend the summer bonding.

And finally, Matías De Leis Correa's "Since the Last Time We Met," which is by far the sexiest of the three. This Argentinian import tells the story of Victor (Patricio Arellano), a handsome and perennially single gay guy pushing 40 who is reunited by chance with David (Esteban Recagno), his ridiculously sexy first love, 15 years after the last time they saw each other. This reunion revives the clandestine love they had when they were younger. Hubba hubba!
