États-Unis 2004
75min English o.v.
Drenched in the golden hues of California’s wine country, Russell Brown’s sexy debut feature tells the tale of Nathan (Cole Williams, Harry and Max) and Maggie (Amber Benson, Buffy The Vampire Slayer), two recent college graduates caught in the throes of an unlikely and steamy affair. Gay Nathan and straight Maggie both have boyfriends but are fuelled by the giddy exhilaration of their infidelity. Basking in the illusion of control, they kiss their respective lovers goodbye and set out for a road trip through Napa Valley. As they wine away all pretenses, Nathan and Maggie finally confront the consequences of their actions and admit to their (sometimes not so nice) true feelings for one another. Touted by some as a bisexual Sideways, Race you to the Bottom is an unusual and captivating love story with sharply drawn, refreshingly flawed characters.
