Grief was one of those films that will always be overlooked because it had little publicity and it had gay themes, which is unfair. Grief was a funny, heartbreaking film about one man's struggle to overcome his 'grief' over his lover's death, caused by AIDS. It's set in the offices of "The Love Judge", a zero-rated daytime soap.
Mark (Craig Chester) is the man in question, constantly in a state of depression over the loss of his boyfriend Kenny. Jo (Jackie Beat) is the producer of "The Love Judge", a towering, crazed person who is anguished over losing her friends despite her joy at finding love and moving to Prague. Leslie (Illeana Douglas) is desperate for a chance to write for the show, yet consoles herself by lusting after sexy intern Ben (Shawn Hoffman). Jeremy (Carlton Wilborn) is Mark's best friend, always trying to cheer him up yet looking out for his needs as well. Paula (Lucy Gutteridge) is repressed and desperate for a shot at being a producer yet is up against none other than Mark.
All this changes with the arrival of Bill (Alexis Arquette), a guy confused over his sexuality. He finds Mark intriguing, yet he shuts him out. All is not well when Jeremy decides that Bill is what he wants...
Grief had excellent performances, especially Craig Chester and Illeana Douglas, and it could move you like no other. Search your TV schedules and local video outlets for this fantastic film.
