Gemini - The Twin Stars (1988) with Thomas Nock

GEMINI, THE TWIN STARS is the story of a star-crossed friendship which springs up when a young man's flight from danger crosses another man's quest for adventure. Traveling from New York to Geneva, from Swiss mountain peaks to remote Greek islands, the film is an exciting romantic adventure. Matthew McLaren (Gene Patrick) is a carefree New York college student in the midst of finals. His world changes dramatically when he is wrongly implicated in the drug dealings of a friend, who is shot down by undercover agents. Frightened and desperate, Matthew buys a one-way ticket to Switzerland and escapes, unwittingly becoming the object of an international manhunt. Enroute to Geneva, Matthew meets Maria-Helena Buffington (Aurore Clement), the aristocratic, dissatisfied wife of a U.S. senator. Maria-Helena introduces Matthew to the fast life of the international set, and the two begin a passionate affair. Matthew's past catches up with him, however, in the form of two policemen hot on his trail. After a frantic chase through a glittering nightclub, Matthew escapes again. this time to the sequestered Appenzell region in the foothills of the Alps. There, Matthew is befriended by Thomas Fassler (Thomas Nock), a young Swiss man who lives with his farm family. For Thomas, Matthew is the embodiment of the worldly adventurer, an American «cowboy» on holiday. For Matthew, Thomas' innocence, enthusiasm and love of nature are a refreshing change. The pair set off to find adventure, first in St. Moritz where they join Maria-Helena, and later in the never-ending party life of the Greek island of Mykonos. With the police closing in, we realize that Matthew and Thomas share a destiny that is fatefully charged with mystery and jeopardy. Offering a new twist to the classic love triangle, GEMINI, THE TWIN STARS is an international coming of age story, full of romance,danger and breathtaking beauty.

Gemini, un grand film un de peut que est sorti et fait le monde représentant le cinema suisse, est le seul tournée dans quatre paisses différents, et réuni des gens détoures origines, moi je trouve que le cinema suisse donne pas trop d'importance ou travaille de Jaques Sandoz que dans les années 80 a fait le film les plus internationale de suisse que a gagne des prix importants,

I found a link on Google to a site in Netherland. In this country the DVD was available. According to Jacques Sandoz the official DVD should be out this April!

Where can you find this movie to watch it through? I have looked but cannot find it. I have a friend who is in this movie and so I would like to watch it.

this movie is impossible to find- do you know where someone could get this movie? I am sure it never made it onto dvd.

I have a friend who acted in it, so I really would like to see it.

I remember seeing an article about this movie when it came out and photos of Thomas Nock and gene Patrick, but the film never played outside big cities, I suppose (foreign films rarely did in the late 80s) so it's fascinating to see these scenes. I'd be curious to see the trailer and whole movie. Thanks for sharing.
