Red Without Blue
Identical twins Mark and Alex Farley began life as close as two brothers born minutes apart can be, happily visiting Disneyland, celebrating birthdays, and being each other’s best friend. Their childhood, while appearing happy, was later revealed to be a tragic, disturbing and chaotic mess of divorce, drugs and sexual confusion. After a joint suicide attempt, the two young men part ways and move to opposite ends of the country. Unbeknownst to each other, they also gravitate to opposite ends of the sexual spectrum, with Mark finding a boyfriend in San Francisco and Alex finding himself transforming into a woman named Claire in New York City. Red Without Blue is a true-life chronicle of three years in the life of the Farley brothers as they succumb to the desire to reunite and attempt to reconcile their obvious differences with their parents, each other, and their inner selves. – Jeremy Olsen (USA, 2007, 76 min, dir: Brooke Sebold/Benita Sills/Todd Sills)
