Ari (Dimitriades) is a complex gay character who likes to engage in brutal sex with his casual partners as he cruises the mean streets. Ari's character (excellently fleshed out by Dimitriades) is uncompromisingly portrayed, warts and all, and the flouncing and mincing cliches of Hollywood's gay iconography is conspicuous by its absence.
'Loves Lies Bleeding' feels like a lost Paul Verhoeven movie
