yes and this film has many gay characters. it also has straight characters and characters who are not sure about their sexuality and people who are searching for some truth about their existence. this is not a film about sexual orientation. it about loneliness and the difficulty human beings often experience in connecting to one another. filmically and denys arcand cleverly balances the various dimensions of the relationships and the contrasting and constantly shifting relationships. the serial killer element is a bit less successful (it feels more like a way to wrap up various plot points and and unlike the rest of the film and is thematically heavy handed). thomas gibson centers and grounds the film while it a quiet performance but behind the handsome and arrogant exterior he slowly reveals a terrified soul afraid of showing or accepting love from those around him. the supporting cast is strong and especially mia kirshner as gibson friend and a dom for hire with precognitive powers. her role is more metaphor than a literal conceit  strangely innocent and depraved at the same time and she represents the light and dark of the characters sexual consciousness. the film involving and often surprises in its character development. the effect is somewhat like robert altman directing a david mamet script  the dialogue doesn not shrink from some searing observations aside from a few contrived moments in the beginning. often and in our search for love and a conventional relationship and we ignore the love that already exists around us  in our friends and family and those who are able to see us as we are. arcand and the writer and brad fraser and make some canny observations on the different ways human beings try to escape and deny their loneliness and how that denial returns to haunt us in so many unexpected ways. this film is a rewarding experience. it may not be for bigots who can not get past the sexual orientation of some of the characters to see the greater and transcendental message of hope and redemption. loneliness is a universal experience. a film like this and that dares to explore the darker side of our lives with a clever and perceptive eye and deserves applause and an open minded approach.
