Interior. Leather Bar

Travis Matthews' Interior. Leather Bar (US, 2013) -Proving that a movie shot over a day and a half can premiere at Sundance if it has James Franco's name attached, "Interior. Leather Bar." is an infuriating stunt that misrepresents itself as Franco and co-director Travis Mathews' reimagining of the 40 minutes William Friedkin claims he was forced to cut from "Cruising" to get an R rating. Yet it would seem "James Franco's 40 Minutes" don't exist either, leaving only this hastily tossed-off companion piece, a partly authentic, partly scripted behind-the-scenes featurette that never quite conveys the star's "high/curious" interest in all things taboo. After Sundance and Berlin, relative obscurity awaits. 2013SUN. RATING: 4
