Desperate Acquaintances

1998 · 94 min Drama
1.0 / 10 · TMDB

Three twenty-something male friends in a non-descript Norwegian city seeking happiness. In the crazy 90s with the sexual confusion, substance abuse, and welfare-abuse prevalent, the quest often involves desperate acquaintances (prostitutes, crazy, wrong choices), but most often through a very personal bond of their own. The three are different: One is gay just coming out, another is a "liberated heterosexual" looking for love (in all the wrong places), and the third a manic depressive who alternates between mental wards and a yuppy existence.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Desperate Acquaintances is an acquired taste at 1.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1998. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
