Zero Patience is a dramedy-slash-PSA musical that tells the story of a 19th sexologist who drink the waters from the fountain of youth. Now, still alive in the modern world, he tries to understand the life of the man the media labelled as Patient Zero for an exhibit in a museum he works at. As he harasses an ACT UP group composed of people who personally knew this patient, Patient Zero's soul awakens and tries to get in with the documentary AND ultimately has a relationship with the sexologist.
This is an insane plot to summarize.
This film is simply insane. It goes full force reminiscing the great John Waters BUT is sadly riddled technical difficulties. The writing - especially is not the best. The musical parts is weak AND lacks that certain oomph in the dialogue. There is barely any acting to be frank. The direction is very amateurish especially in the musical moments of the films. IT was just a big undertaking for this low budget.
BUT I still could not really put it fully down.
Greyson's film is just full of wonder AND meaning. What it fails technically, it rises on thematically and in ambition. It is an early example of escapist gay text that is otherworldly AND feels modern because the text is uniquely refreshing. It celebrates the impending doom of these characters AND enliven their personalities. It never wants to limit the expectation of WHAT the AIDS narrative tends to be: fatalistic tragedies BUT puts up that they are: Human - Sick AND who just want to live their life to the fullest.
Highly recommended even though highly flawed. A highly underseen film of Gay Cinema.
