"Flames of Passion" - rare UK queer film from 1989

Inspired by the Noel Coward/David Lean masterpiece "Brief Encounter", the title "Flames of Passion" references the film depicted in "Brief Encounter" being shown at the local cinema. Shot in 1989 at a time when homophobia was rampant in the UK, fuelled by the tabloid press and the Thatcher government's Section 28 legislation, "Flames of Passion" was none the less commissioned and broadcast in the UK by Channel 4 Television. It was later released on VHS tape in a triple-bill with Genet's classic "Un Chant d'Amour" and Isaac Julien's "Looking for Langston." The pairing with Genet's "Un Chant d'Amour" was apt, given that both are essentially black and white silent films. Both too depict homosexual desire in the context of oppressive societies. In Genet's film, desire exists in the confines of the solitary confinement cells of a prison. In Flames of Passion, intimacy is only possible behind the locked door of a train's toilet compartment, the British Rail symbol effectively censoring the actors' kiss. Why this beautiful film has been lost and never released on DVD is beyond me. I hope I can lift it out of obscurity by uploading it here.
