In the Gloaming (1997)
In the Gloaming is a American made-for-television gay drama film. Story written by Alice Elliott Dark. Directed by Christopher Reeve, stars Glenn Close, Bridget Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg and Robert Sean Leonard.
It’s a story about 33 year old Danny, dying of AIDS and back to his home for his last months with his mother and sister.
There are many scenes between the mother and son when thoughts about their respective lives are exchanged. It is as if they are getting to know each other for the first time. The dialogue in the film is mainly between mother and son. All the other characters while still important have much less to say.
