Mesmerizing and technically dazzling, AKA marks the impressive feature debut of British director Duncan Roy. Matthew Leitch (BAND OF BROTHERS) is Dean, a comely working-class lad struggling with squelched dreams and skeletons in the family closet. His intense desire for upward mobility leads him to pose as a young aristocrat, enacting a complicated masquerade with a wealthy man of leisure and his young American rent boy. Dean’s sexually-charged adventures shed a harsh new light on the world he previously only fantasized about, revealing a depravity and ruthlessness just beneath the ornate exterior. The film’s dramatic thrust is enhanced by a provocative three-camera approach — side-by-side images convey shifts in space, time, and memory — providing a multi-layered perspective rarely seen in conventional cinema. Combining the shady con-game of THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY with the experimental creativity of the indie TIMECODE, the sizzling AKA is an engrossing work of vulnerability and retribution.
