The gay mumblecore revival arguably kicked off with Andrew Haigh’s Weekend in 2011. We’ve since had HBO’s Looking (also a Haigh production) and Francis Lee’s gorgeous God’s Own Country, but End of the Century from first-time director Lucio Castro is the most directly in conversation with Haigh’s breakout film: even its Spanish title, Fin de Siglo, echoes Weekend’s (Fin de Semana).
