Description: "Renowned British stage director Sean Mathias directs Martin Sherman's powerful and provocative (The New York Times) screenplay about one man's struggle to maintain his dignity while imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. Featuring exceptional performances by Lothaire Bluteau (Black Robe), Clive Owen (Gosford Park), Brian Webber, Ian McKellan (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring) and Mick Jagger, Bent will grab filmgoers by the heart.
"Max (Owen) is a handsome young man who, after a fateful tryst with a German Soldier, is forced to run for his life. Pursued and captured, Max is placed in a concentration camp where he pretends to be jewish – because in the eyes of the Nazis, gays are the lowest form of human being. But it takes a forbidden relationship with an openly gay prisoner to teach Max that without the love of another, life is not worth living."
