While still in love after many years together, issues are starting to appear as Robert is leaving for a two-year work assignment in Africa and Michael is staying behind. The film depicts the 24-hour period leading up to Robert’s departure, showing the couple attend a private dinner hosted by Robert’s boss and a going-away party hosted by their friend Joan, as well as scenes of Michael caring for his friend and ex-boyfriend Nick, who has AIDS. Things are further complicated when Robert’s true motives for leaving are revealed.Parting Glances is the only film by director Bill Sherwood, who died from AIDS complications in 1990. Due to its realistic portrayal of urban gay life during the height of the AIDS crisis, as well as being one of the first films to address the pandemic, it is considered highly important in the history of gay cinema.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Notable for being the feature film debut of Steve Buscemi, who plays Nick. | |

All Gays Are Promiscuous: Robert states this is the reason Nick got AIDS during an argument with Michael, and that Nick should have known better. Michael, understandably, doesn’t take the claim well. It’s however averted in an earlier scene when, while recording his video will, Nick leaves a message for his father saying he stopped cold once word of the virus got out, but was affected anyway due to the long gestation period. | |
