Man survived a cocaine addiction, HIV, a massive heart attack, and now even Dutch cuisine
A portrait of 80s gay porn icon Mickey Squires and the man who performed him, Richard Bernstein, which turns from a fringe-film historical documentary into an essay on the mysteries and unpredictabilities of acting as a key activity in all our lives.

Man survived a cocaine addiction, HIV, a massive heart attack, and now even Dutch cuisine
Portrait as cinema, as an alter-ego.Attention seeking Mickey Squires, as a shape shifter model icon and porn legend, simultaneously juggling while trying to balance, a just human cinderella-man, as love-worthy Richard Bernstein, all adding up to a moving and inspired survivor's story.Eventually struggling to persevere and ultimately living comfortably enough with himself, and then to suddenly and unexpectedly after tragedy, be blessed with that godlike gift from dear ones around him, and suddenly embracing with the one miracle that truly matters, that one called Love.
A very vulnerable portrait. By focussing on Richard’s life a different kind of archival practice shimmers through. We are not only looking at footage, but Richard himself is constantly commenting on that footage and where he was in that stage of his live. His personal relation to his changing body is juxtaposed with the changing gay porn industry. I thought this project was very effective.
Es ist ein Porträt der Erwachsenenfilm-Ikone der Achtziger Mickey Squires und des Mannes, der ihn darstellte, Richard Bernstein.
Der Film wurde 2026 von Ryan A. White und A.P. Pickle als dokumentarische Erkundung queer Geschichte gedreht.
