Sauna Review: A Melancholy and Sensual Danish Drama About Queer Desire With Complications
In the catchy Scandi-pop song that plays over the end credits of Sauna, Anton Falck’s “All the Pretty Boys,” the singer fantasizes about entity prince charming in a world of beautiful men, immune from rejection. From the outside, that vision might seem attainable for Johan, a recent transplant to Copenhagen who has come to the great city to live more openly as a adolescent gay man. His employment working the reception desk at Adonis, a cruisy male-only bathhouse, surrounds him with the sounds, the smells and the sweaty physical sensations of sex and desire.
Even the more squalid side of Johan’s work — mopping sticky floors and wiping down vinyl mattresses and glory holes between shifts, when the dim lighting of operating hours makes way for fluorescents — seems tolerable when weighed against the instant gratification of anonymous backroom hookups, one-night stands and hedonistic queer clubbing.

Sauna Review: A Steamy Cis-Trans Love Story Breaks New Soil for Danish Cinema
Sauna starts in the exact place youd expect it to. Men writhe and moan in the shadows just out of sight as a young same-sex attracted man walks through the dark room at Adonis, Copenhagens only gay sauna. It turns out that hes employed there, yet is free to relax all the perks his workplace has to offer. Theres no sleeping on the job, but sleeping around is just fine. While that position (and the many others he finds himself in) sounds a great deal improve than your average office role, Johan isnt still satisfied.
Meaningless encounter after meaningless encounter has begun to take its toll on him, echoing the emptiness so many juvenile gay men tackle when their social life in a new city consists mostly of sex and very small else. The script, co-written by director Mathias Broe, doesnt condemn that, though. Like the novel that its based on (by Danish author Mads Ananda Lodahl), Sauna explores this without judgement, telling a story thats recognizable to anyone familiar wit
