MIKAËL (1924) dir. Carl Theodor Dreyer Mikaël is an artist who rises as his teacher, the aging Zoret, falls. Zoret gives Mikaël his start, and their relationship is sexual as well. Then Mikaël takes up with the Princess Zamikoff, selling gifts from Zoret and even stealing from the master to pay for his carnal and luxurious life with her. He abandons Zoret, whose health begins to fail but who also discovers spirituality in his solitude. In a subplot, Alice Adelsskjold cuckolds her husband and takes a lover, the Duke of Monthieu; their relationship, infused with the eroticism of art, also gives way to religion as the duke becomes ill.

*Note that some of these are unrequited loves, and some are ambiguous as to how requited the feelings are. But in every example here, at least one character is either canonically shown or heavily implied to have feelings for the other(s).
Michael 1924 (heartbreak)
A great film from a Danish director that showed both gay and bisexual characters in the most natural way back then in early 20′s.
This moment is one of my favourites when the internal pain the painter felt from his beloved’s betrayal is expressed through his painting.
It’s his moment, he is praised, people cheer for him, he is expected to smile. But the one he loves isn’t there to share his joy...so none of these matter.

Michael (1924) dir. Carl Theodor Dreyer
“A new film of homosexual content”
“While the homosexual content of the film is not obvious, there are many cues visible to those who look. And so, a work of art results that must perhaps remain unclear to many dull eyes, but the pleasure is all the greater for the knowledgeable one who can recognize and empathize with the vicissitudes of the characters.”
A translation of a review of Michael (1924) in Die Freundschaft - a German Weimar-era gay magazine that was published from 1919 to 1933
