Synopsis
A hustler finds himself falling for the closeted Marxist politician he’s been hired to seduce by fascists in this groundbreaking drama from Spanish genre-cinema master Eloy de la Iglesia. One of the first openly gay films to be made after the fall of the Spanish dictatorship — and while homosexuality was still illegal — CONFESSIONS OF A CONGRESSMAN is a searing indictment of the hollowness of “democracy” that has been unavailable in the U.S. for decades.
