CGiii Comment
Based on a real heartbreak, Departures is a must-see northern comedy drama that dissects a toxic relationship from all angles.
Benji meets Jake at an airport check-out gate and is immediately intrigued. Jake is fit, elusive, dominant and, as Benji happily suspects, ‘a bit gay’. Cue monthly getaways to Amsterdam, a lot of sex and the creeping emergence of a doomed power dynamic. This Manchester-made feature was self-funded by a collective of working-class LGBT+ filmmakers, who have successfully created a funny, raw and empathetic cinematic experience for all.
