Capsule review

Director Ira Sachs’ emotionally dense drama follows Danish filmmaker Erik (Thure Lindhardt) and closeted publishing attorney Paul (Zachary Booth) through a 10-year relationship that begins with a phone-sex encounter in late-’90s New York City. Based on Sachs’ past romantic relationship with literary agent Bill Clegg, the film paints Paul as a crack addict and doesn’t spare audiences the harsh realities of addiction’s impact on loving relationships. As years go by, Erik begins to realize that, despite his love, Paul will perhaps always be less important to him than the drug. Sexually charged and brutally honest in its depiction of human failings, Keep the Lights On soars even higher with a score crafted almost entirely from works by composer Arthur Russell. Not rated. 101 minutes.
