SESIÓN 2
PROYECCIÓN: Brokeback Mountain de Ang Lee (134 min. 2005, EE.UU.)
RELATO: Brokeback Mountain de Annie Proulx

Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.
Verano de 1963. Dos vaqueros, Ennis del Mar y Jack Twist, se conocen mientras hacen cola para ser contratados por el ranchero Joe Aguirre. Los dos aspiran a conseguir un trabajo estable, casarse y formar una familia. Cuando Aguirre les envía a cuidar ganado a la majestuosa montaña Brokeback, entre ambos surge un sentimiento de camaradería que deriva hacia una relación íntima. Al concluir el verano, tienen que abandonar Brokeback y seguir caminos diferentes. (FILMAFFINITY)
