    Here's the late great French porn director Cadinot giving two fingers up - and other digits as well - to the Catholic Church he was born into. A young man goes to confession, and tells the keen-eared priest that he "likes boys." The Priest judgementally tells him that this is a mortal sin, outlawed by God, the Church and the Pope. "Never mind about that" the boy says, and goes on to describe in intimate detail how he became aware of his penchant for gay sex.

    The movie then moves into flashback mode, and we see the boy in the arms of a girl, with whom he is enjoying a romantic and fairly passionate relationship. But he finds some pictures of her with another man, and this drives the poor lad to attempt suicide. He is rushed to hospital and put in a room with a black man, looked after by a black male nurse. The nurse takes our pretty white hero's temperature anally, and then injects him with some kind of aphrodisiac. The nurse leaves and the boy is in paroxysms of desire, which are soon satisfied by his well-hung fellow patient. Later, the nurse returns and the boy gets penetrated again - all of this he takes in his stride, his body writhing with enjoyment.

    Despite his avowed disapproval, the Priest has been avidly listening to all of this and what's more has been jacking off whilst the story is told. The film ends with the Priest shooting his load and the young man leaving the confessional unrepentant. Thus does the body and life win over "otherworldliness" and death, graphically illustrating Cadinot's last web-site announcement: "An erect phallus is a symbol of life, a cross a symbol of death."

    Cadinot's short film "Garçons de rêves" is just over 27 minutes long, One of the earliest of Caidnot's films with a specific plot, it continues the anti-Catholic theme of "Scouts".

    However, "Scouts" is a satirical film - if anything, the filmic realization of young boy's naughty fantasies about the church and about scouring. "Garçons de rêves", despite its brevity, contains some themes that Cadinot obviously takes seriously.

    The star of the film is the luscious Laurent Miala, who appeared in "Les Hommes Preferent Les Hommes". (He wore the black top with levi cutoffs, only slightly less revealing than the cutoffs that comprised the scout uniforms in "Scouts".)

    With maximum Catholic imagery - church choirs singing and bells ringing as we see a Cathedral facade, we join Miala in a confessional with the priest (Lorenzo Bellini) to which he is entrusting his mortal soul.

    Miala confesses to a passionate affair with a young woman, whose subsequent infidelity causes him to attempt suicide. The suicide having been unsuccessful, ambulances take him to a hospital room that he shares with an African male (Matthias Chamberlain, who is not listed in any previous or subsequent Cadinot movie.)

    One member of the hospital's health care team lakes it upon himself to assume responsibility for the hospital ward roommates. He is Sidney McKenna, obviously of European and African descent (who appeared in the orgy scene in "Les Hommes Preferent Les Hommes",and appears in a considerable number of subsequent Cadinot films.)

    McKenna shows interest in the anuses of both roommates, ostensibly to obtain anal thermometer readings, but, based on his subsequent actions, his interest in men's anal regions goes far beyond concern about what their temperature might be.

    McKenna injects Miala's buttocks with some substance that causes erotic writings, which first Chamberlain, then McKenna, seek to exploit.

    Miala relates to his priest-confessor how exciting it was to discover the pleasures that arise when men's phalluses are inserted into one's mouth and anus, especially when such pleasures are occurring simultaneously.

    One can detect steam rising in the confessional, and soon the priest is masturbating himself as he contemplates how wonderful it would be for a European white boy to experience at the same time the sexual prowess of two men of African descent.

    This is a truly erotic film, that has an edginess that continues to wear well into the 21st century.
