As I understand it, "Bent" was originally a stage production in London. I don't know how the stage production was, but the movie version doesn't come out as good as it could have. Portraying a gay man (Clive Owen) in Nazi Germany pretending to be Jewish and meeting another gay man in Dachau, the movie never really develops anything as much as it could. In fact, it seems like the movie never really looks thoroughly at what the Nazis were doing. Mick Jagger, playing a transvestite, is really the only reason to see the movie.
So, they probably had good intentions with this movie, but they never did with it what they could have. The whole thing comes out pretty muddled. Also starring Ian McKellen.
