Details

In the powerful historical drama Bent (1997), set during the harrowing times of the Nazi regime, we follow the journey of Max, a gay man who finds himself sent to the infamous Dachau concentration camp. Desperate to hide his true identity, Max attempts to deny his homosexuality and is given a yellow label - the badge designated for Jews - rather than the pink one assigned to homosexuals.

Within the haunting confines of the camp, Max encounters Horst, a fellow prisoner who proudly wears his pink label as a mark of defiance. Despite their challenging circumstances, an unexpected and intense love blossoms between Max and Horst, defying the brutal Nazi regime's efforts to suppress their identities and emotions.

As the film explores themes of self-discovery, identity, and love amidst profound adversity, viewers are confronted with the unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust and the strength of the human spirit. Bent sheds light on the persecution faced not only by Jewish individuals during this dark period, but also the targeted oppression experienced by the LGBTQ+ community.

With its poignant storytelling and exceptional performances, Bent delivers a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant narrative, reminding us of the importance of love, acceptance, and the indomitable nature of the human soul. A gripping tale of resilience and forbidden love, Bent offers a gripping portrayal of one of history's darkest chapters.
