Damn, I should have written "Parting Glances"; but anyway, it's a gay love story set in eighties Manhattan. Not *quite* a romantic comedy. One half of the central couple is being transferred to Africa for two years; Steve Buscemi plays their best friend Nick, a musician dying from AIDS: a surprisingly unbitter guy, lean and floppy-haired and lovely, who becomes the third point of the triangle. (he's also subject to hallucinations about a guy in armour, but you're best off watching the film than reading me try and describe *that* weirdness.) It is a very upbeat film, and I love Buscemi in it - he's given top billing on the DVD cover, but I keep realising that he *isn't* playing the central character. I think you'd like it a lot.

As to Queneau, I've only read "Pierrot Mon Ami" thus far. (I didn't know it wasn't really about the Comedia, but it's a nice, earthy little farce.) I'll check out the poem in a mo.
