Well Spanish films are usually very sexually charged so I wouldn't necessarily blame it on his gayness. And Almodovar is an entirely different bag of chips...

Btw, I'm not criticizing sex in gay films, but I'd like them not to rely on it alone and the good looks of the actors to sell the film (like Shelter for example, which is a terrible film but which seems to rank very highly within gay circles...presumably because of the good looks of the actors...didn't see much else going for it...:/)

Did you see Milk by any chance? If so what did you think of it
I did indeed. I liked it well enough, but having seen The times of Harvey Milk prior it didn't really stand a chance to having anywhere near the same emotional impact as the documentary.
