AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'At an exclusive Catholic boys school in Melbourne 1976, Tim Conigrave and John Caleo fell madly in love. Their passionate, tempestuous, operatic romance lasted for 16 years, facing disapproval, temptation, separation, and the looming shadow of the Grim Reaper. Their relationship has been immortalised in Conigrave's posthumous autobiography Holding the Man (now a major Australian film directed by Neil Armfield). This is the true story of how Romeo met Romeo and how first love can not only last but endure.' (Source: Screen Australia website)

Released mere months after the premiere of Holding the Man – the lauded film adaptation of Timothy Conigrave's memoir of the same name – Remembering the Man offers new insights into Conigrave's relationship with John Caleo through interviews and archival footage. Beyond being a mere companion piece, the documentary provides a more compelling account by chronicling the wider world surrounding the couple's romance, writes Laurence Barber.
