I agree, a new way forward
I agree that this film is part of a new way forward in Queer/Gay cinema. It follows on from ' Sauvage ' and ' Theo et Hugo ' in its emotional and sexual power. It shows and it needs to be shown that the sexual organs are just another part of the human anatomy and that the day of the Garden of Eden fig leaf is ( or should be ) over. It is also in my opinion dealing with the disparity of the rich and the poor and the sado-masochistic relationship that can develop when the two collide in what is here a non-love story. Sebastien Ricard and Yury Paulau are hypnotically good, detailed in every gesture, and are starkly human in contrast to the inhuman world around them. It is such a blast of fresh air in film that I am still in awe of what I have seen. Essential Cinema.
