Stolevski seems to have been influenced by Andrew Haigh’s landmark gay romance Weekend there’s a similar wistfulness, a discursive chattiness, a woozy sense of closeness at work in Of an Age. A time jump reveals them as more fully realized adults, perhaps still carrying torches for one another. An attraction blooms and is consummated, but the two young men’s lives are on divergent paths.
Told in two parts, Of an Age centers on Kol ( Elias Anton), who begins the film as a closeted teenager who has a chance encounter with a friend’s older brother, Adam ( Thom Green). Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.Australian Macedonian filmmaker Goran Stolevski’s sophomore feature (his first was last year’s exquisite You Won’t Be Alone) is a coming-out story, of sorts. The first known account of the New World by a visitor from the Middle East. Aesthetically appealing and historically important, this unique account remains an invaluable document for scholars of early modern history and of the church in Latin America. Also featured are rare notes culled from a manuscript in a monastery of the Chaldean Christian rite in Baghdad. And he tells of uncommon visits to royalty in Catholic Europe prior to embarking on a voyage that would turn into a twelve-year adventure (1668-1680). He provides insightful descriptions of high-level officials and clerics in the New World. Because of the uniqueness and significance of his journey, al-Musili was supported by the pope himself and authorized by the queen regent of Spain. Surrounded by a world seemingly filled with exotic miracles, al-Musili shares his perceptions of native peoples, their customs, beliefs, and treatment by Spanish conquistadors. Rabbat immediately transcribed into Arabic those portions relating to the remarkable experiences of Reverend Elias-al-Musili, a priest of the Chaldean Church, the first person ever to come to the Americas from Baghdad. Reverend Antun Rabbat, a respected Jesuit scholar of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, discovered these extraordinary writings in a Jacobite diocese in Aleppo, Syria.
