Steven Soderbergh's Behind The Candelabra (US, 2013) - 2013CANic - RATING: 3.5 - Surprisingly touching and honest look at gay love as it evolve through out the years. Michael Douglas and Matt Damon give an outstanding performances as the true life couple.- Beneath the flamboyant furs, twinkling rhinestones and bitchy asides, Behind The Candelabra emerges as a touching gay love story from an age when nobody in American showbusiness would have dared to venture out of the closet. Director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Richard LaGravenese tread lightly on the social significance of events, focusing largely on the personal heartache in the bittersweet relationship between entertainer Liberace and his lover Scott Thorson.
