While looking at random cocks on AZ Nude Men, I came across Sun in My Mouth, with Artem Shcherbakov as a skinny, dissolute-looking twink who takes off his clothes on the beach while looking depressed, and then returns to his empty apartment to j/o on the phone while looking depressed. Photos after the break
Black and white, extremely washed out, amateurish, with random close-ups of body parts and nonsequiter images. It looked like one of those 1960s "stag films," or one of the early Gay Liberation movies like A Very Natural Thing. But it is dated 2010.
Extremely mysterious. Russia is a puritanical country. How was it even permitted? And what is the meaning of "sun in my mouth?" A Russian proverb?
According to the IMDB, "It's a film about how we attempt to connect and understand other people by understanding ourselves."
I couldn't find the film itself, but the trailer is very artistic/experimental, black and white. Artem rides a subway -- wait, those signs are in English -- walks on the beach, takes off his clothes, broods, goes home to an empty apartment, and beats off with a phone sex operator.
Is it even Russian? Jessica Yatrovsky has nothing else listed on the IMDB. The phone sex operator is played by Andrew Yang -- not a Russian name.
A man. So this is a gay film? So Artem is depressed because he's struggling to come out?
Artem has only one other acting role listed on the IMDB, A Four Letter Word, 2007: "hook-up artist Luke considers becoming monogamous" for the "smug and handsome" Stephen (Jesse Archer, Charlie David). He is listed as Vlad.
His Linkedin says that he is the founder of ROAR Games and Zheeshee in Brooklyn.
His Facebook says that he was born in Minsk, Belorussia. He attended Fort Hamilton High School in Brooklyn and Touro College, where he majored in psychology. He married Brian in 2021 and now lives in Washington DC.
More after the break. Caution: Explicit.
