Movie Description The third installment in the Boys Life series, following 1995's BOYS LIFE and 1997's BOYS LIFE 2, BOYS LIFE 3 consists of five short films, each telling a story related to gay life, identity, and sexuality. In French director David Fournier's MAJORETTES (a.k.a. DES MAJORETTES DANS L'ESPACE), an existential narrator talks over comic clips of film and illustrative cardboard cutouts. He tells a simple story of Dimitri, a soviet cosmonaut who likes majorettes, Catherine and Laurent who like making love, the Pope who likes airports, and Vincent who likes boys. HITCH by director Bradley Rust Gray follows two attractive men on a dizzying road trip that involves some sexual self-discovery. The Hollywood farce INSIDE OUT, from director Jason Gould, involves one slapstick joke after the next, hitting on psychotherapy, gay stereotypes, failed marriages, and tabloid sensationalism. JUST ONE TIME, a short film by Lane Janger that he later made into a feature-length film, is included here in its original format. And, wrapping up the filmic collage of BOYS LIFE 3 is director Gregory Cooke's $30, a bittersweet story of a gay kid who faces a dilemma when his dad takes him to a whorehouse for his birthday.
