Powerful, compelling, important drama about gay life, aids,
and political hyprocrisy in New York City. Al Pacino is Roy
Cohn (a right wing zealot, aide to Senator Joseph McCarthy,
who died of aids in the 19980's) who becomes patron to
Joseph Pitt, a young conservative who is in the process of
discovering his gay self. Justin Kirk is Prior Walter has
aids. His lover, Lou, bolts and ends up with the
unsatisfying job of dealing with Joe's religious (he's a
mormon) conscience.
