Movie Review: Interior. Leather Bar. by James Franco

I was browsing Netflix for something to watch the other night and stumbled across this film. It's an hour long experimental documentary-ish type film that is, on its surface, an attempt by Franco and his co-director Travis Mathews to recreate the 40-minute footage that was cut by the ratings board from the 1980 Al Pacino film "Cruising". In the cut footage, Pacino's character, a detective, reportedly went undercover in a gay S/M bar. Nobody involved in the making of this new film has seen that footage, so their goal was to imagine what it could have been.
