The Irrepressibles 'Ecstasy Homosexuality' by Ben Galster

Rob Ulitski - 15th Aug 2024
Ben Galster directs a sensual and, well, irrepressible depiction of queer life and love for The Irrepressibles. And it's proved to be too hot for YouTube...Â
The video for Ecstasy Homosexuality is a celebration of queer liberation, featuring a stirring narrative between former and current lovers, who get away together in a house in the country for a summer break.Â
Blending queer culture, performance and art into something absolutely captivating, the video makes use of mixed media (live action, paintings and vintage photography) to give a universal, anachronistic feel to the concept.Â
The central narrative between the main characters is also hugely engaging, teetering on the edge of something explosive and visceral, even in moments of silence.Â
Jumping between naturalistic, raw setups and hyper-stylised vignettes, Galster's direction feels elevated and inspired throughout, capturing unique sides of the LGBT+ experience with flair.Â
It's stunning work, and although it has been taken down from YouTube, it's still available in its full glory on Vimeo...Â
