...with Les Amitiés Particulières, the story of a homosexual love affair between two boys in a Roman Catholic boarding school. As filmed by French Director Jean Delannoy, This Special Friendship turns out to be both poignant and disturbing. Its impact depends not on lubricity-the schoolboy crush at the center of the story is idealistic and unconsummated. It is based on Delannoy's deft projection of the human agony behind the cry of St. Paul: "For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that...

Awkward, myopic, shy, dull in class except in history, he shambled about the sham Tudor buildings. His friends called him "Cal," after Caligula, because he was so uncouth; he liked that, and today is still known as Cal. His nature became clear to classmates after he started reading commentaries on the Iliad and Dante's Inferno. As his roommate, Artist Frank Parker, recalls: "The point was that you could...
