Testosterone (2004)



















Dean Seagrave (David Stucliffe) is a troubled and depressed gay novelist who found success with his novel "Teenage Speed Freak", which was a semi-autobiographical account of his teenage years. Suffering from writer's block, he hasn't written a book in a long time. His fans pressure him to write a new novel and his publisher Louise (Jennifer Coolidge) keeps hounding him and is mean to him. On probation for assaulting an elderly woman, he is also living with a low amount of money in LA. Dean misses his Argentine lover Pablo (Antonio Sabato Jr.), who left their California beach house saying he was going to get cigarettes, but disappeared. This troubles Dean because Pablo was the answer to all of his problems. Unable to work, sleep, or even shave, Dean throws some clothes in a bag and books a flight on Aerolineas, Argentinas. In Buenos Aires, Dean frantically tries to track down Pablo, but this is more difficult than he expected. In addition to the language barrier, Dean discovers that most people he encounters are not what they seem. By the time Dean and Pablo are re-united, the lines between art and life, resolution and revenge, man and maniac, have gone fuzzy. Dean abandons his better judgment, and with a broken heart and testosterone pumping through his veins, plans to have one last talk with Pablo. This comedy/drama is a film adaption from James Robert Baker's novel "Testosterone". It was filmed in Los Angeles, California at the beginning and later in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Dennis Hensley wrote the screenplay and David Moreton produced and directed. The film is also known as "Clean Cut".
