CGiii Comment

The first 12 minutes are redundant - they scream...I've got a brand new HD camera, doesn't it look pretty?!?

And...it doesn't get much better - in fact, it descends into puerile nonsense - the ridiculous TV scene will have you convinced in next to no time.

At every opportunity, the protagonist strips off - that should keep the less intelligent watching.

There seems to be some scenes 'borrowed' from other Scud films...unoriginality and HD, do not make a good film.

This is not good viewing.

The(ir) Blurb...

Permanent Residence explores, in complete abandon and full nudity, the life story of a young man who pursues an impossible love with his straight boyfriend and contemplates on the mortality of his loved ones. Permanent Residence exudes a deep understanding and sensibility towards the important issues involved in loving, living and dying.
