Only You (1981)

In this ostensible murder mystery the genre elements are merely a pretext for the series of haunting if inconclusive and only mildly erotic homosocial encounters he stages Starting with the familiar premise of the absent woman so popular with Downtown filmmakers Vogl drains his storytelling of any hints of noir stylization Instead of nighttime scenes slick streets and dark alleys he shoots documentarystyle on the nondescript sunlit streets of Brooklyn Manhattan and City Island in a manner that casually references the artfilm angst of Michelangelo Antonioni
