Principal Cast: David Sutcliffe, Celina Font, Antonio Sabato, Jr., Jennifer Coolidge, Sonia BragaDean Seagrave (David Sutcliffe) has been stumped for some time in his attempt to produce a follow-up to "I was a Teenage Speed Freak," his incredibly successful graphic novel. His fans expect great things from him and his editor, Louise (Jennifer Coolidge), is hounding him. Instead of working, however, Dean spends his time searching for his Argentine lover Pablo (Antonio Sabato, Jr.), who went out one night for cigarettes and never came back. "He’s an emotional serial killer," says Dean.
Based on a novel by James Robert Baker, Testosterone examines the fine line between brilliance and obsession. Exploring the opposite of romantic fixation, the film’s tough, scraggy style jams us up against the emotional contradictions of sexual dependency and testosterone-fuelled bravura.
