A
hit at the recent queer film fest, Urbania is
slated for theatrical release this month. It
stars Dan Futterman (the son in The Birdcage
and the tortured writer on television’s Judging
Amy) and the delightful Alan Cumming (the
hotel clerk who flirted with Tom Cruise in an
unforgettable scene during Eyes Wide Shut and a
Tony Award winner for Cabaret ) in an insightful
look at one man’s homosexuality. Futterman plays
a New Yorker whose day-to-day life constantly is
interrupted by strangers who just have experi
enced some bizarre urban legend. In addition, he’s
newly single, but it’s a big mystery how that came
to pass. He finds himself searching for an elusive
macho man while fending off the advances of
his friend, played by Cumming. The answered
questions will shock you, and the unanswered
questions will haunt you.
