You could watch this film just for the eye candy, or for the literary quotations, or for the art exhibits; but don't expect soft porn or high poetry, you won't find such excitements. Most of the time the scenes are too dark anyway.I think this is a story of continuous meaningless deaths, of people who get bonded by them, of incompatible relations, and of desperate attempts to make sense of all this.Two orphans are in love, but live and have sex with others; two sex dates love him but are not loved back. When a kid loves him as a father, and is loved back, everyone makes their choices at last, but the solution is too good to be true...
... View MoreThe story is about a stupidly indulgent young man who is virtually inured to the pain of those who love him simply because he will not grow up. The acting is excellent, the boy playing Greg is particularly good. However, the endless cigarette smoking (surely even the French don't light up as often as the leads in his film) is exasperating in this frustrating and often tedious film. Unless the audience has considerable sympathy for characters like Thomas, the time spent watching the film is wasted. Watching attractive people with their whole lives in front of them drink, sniff coke and generally over indulge themselves is boring, boring, boring. Even the ambiguous ending offers little in the way of hope or redemption.
... View MoreThis movie is so boring. It has this handsome guy on its DVD cover, but the main character is not the same guy at all! This movie is too long. And it is not coherent. Some of the scenes don't even make sense. For example, at the end of the movie, why did the girl have to run fast down hill then felled from the mountain? The policemen were just watching them, they were not chasing the girl.The photographer is also bad, s/he can't even hold the camera steady, you can see the pictures shaking, which is hard to watch.I spent the first hour watching it, but at the end, I just can't waste any more time on it. It is so meaningless. It has nothing exciting. And worst, its story is not even flowing smoothly.
... View MoreGay cinema has brought us marvels. This is not one. Pretentious, scriptless, unbearably slow and meaningless, this is yet again a story of a hesitating man torn between being what he is, gay and the love for his girlfriend. A drama shot in an apartment among Parisian petit bourgeois. The story never really takes off. The film is a collection of preposterous dramatic sequences, filmed with attitude posing for talent. As boring as it gets. A disappointment even for fans of Gay cinema. The cast is quite good with early performances of up and coming Julie Depardieu and Aureline Wiik. Both of them cannot do much to save such a bad script.
