A FOUR LETTER WORD

USA, 87 MINUTES • DIRECTOR: CASPER ANDREAS

A 2007 Centerpiece Feature

In this award-winning hit, director/writer Andreas and co-writer/star Jesse Archer (OUT Magazine, Boy Culture) welcome you to the Gayborhood, where everyone looks vaguely familiar with their clothes on, and, unless they’re fresh meat, no one is separated sexually by more than three degrees. It’s all here: nude yoga, fourgies, cheap drag queens and fag hags who love to comfort the boys in their big bosoms. But is there more to be desired?

Also starring Charlie David (Dante’s Cove), A Four Letter Word is a hilarious romp filled with sharp banter and sharper sex as man-tramp Luke (Archer) works ‘Clerks’ style at a Chelsea sex shop and flits from one boy to another until he meets his match, the gorgeous and macho Stephen (David).

The main characters deal in various ways with issues of sobriety and responsibility in a gay ghetto filled with glittering excess. Luke returns as a stereotypical sexually compulsive muscle queen in denial. When his porn shop coworker and gay crusader Zeke confronts him about his insatiable whorish proclivities, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery: Is he capable of being more than a gay cliché? But Stephen, the man with whom Luke explores his monogamous side, turns out to be something of a player himself. Meanwhile, Peter and Derek struggle with the annoyances of moving in together, and Marilyn rounds out the principal cast as a new fiancée controlled by her own compulsions and struggling through step three of Al-Anon.

Is “slut” the four-letter word? Or is it “love”? Whichever the answer, Andreas has crafted an uninhibited and inquisitive sex comedy with a cast that’s hot and not afraid to flaunt it.

PlanetOut.com described A Four Letter Word as “Bursting with color and imbued with a sensibility that's pop to its very core,“ and proclaimed it “one of the most entertaining films of the year.”
