Raising the subtext of “Fight Club” to the screen, “Shiner” follows two amateur boxers who find gratification in knocking each other out, set amid a trio of twisted love stories. A woman battles for her lover’s attention while another boxer obsesses over his shy male stalker. Director Christian Calson frames the film as an examination of desire, the politics of wanting and being wanted, and the ugly, unconscious behaviors that shape queer relationships.
