Le Sexe des anges

a puzzle. this is the first definition. and, maybe, the best. because it is a love story in same measure like a film about dance, friendship, youth, choices. simple. and honest. and strange. not for the sentimental triangle but for the effort to contain each ingredient of a story full of details, sounds, colors and characters who remind ordinary people, situations and relations. a film about life. in honest manner. simple. and seductive for that. nothing surprising. nothing new. but enough for a beautiful film.

I LOVED this movie! Stumbled upon it by a happy accident and was thrilled to find it! It is very seductive and alive with energy and explores love and sexuality and how these characters refuse to be limited in their lives and how they express that love. It's very realistic and the acting and writing is very good and the look of the movie has high production values and great direction! I love indie films because they are brave enough to explore themes you rarely see in main stream films. Alvaro Cervantes who plays Rai is poised for stardom and he could seduce anyone into falling in love with him. Highly recommend this film!!

I recently saw this movie at a gay and lesbian film fest. The movie has good characters, is well filmed and had a great soundtrack. I was a bit annoyed that the sexual development of the main character Bruno, who has this amazing connection with another guy, and his subsequent "first gay interaction" is given so little attention. To me that was what the movie was about and it is passed over so trivially. There is great tension build up between them, longing glances, sexual moments and then this is all just passed over and we don't get to see how he experiences this earth shaking moment in his life when he gets to kiss or touch another man. It is left to our imagination, which I think is a bit of a cop out. The sex scenes between Bruno and his long term girlfriend are in comparison graphic. The movie could have done without the side characters of the girlfriends co- workers and concentrated a bit more the relationship between the two guys.Overall a nice movie, well acted, beautiful main character and nicely filmed

just fresh. a love story with three partners, without many inhibitions, nice, seductive, collection of slices from an age and an universe. nothing special. and nothing boring. honest, touching and with few crumbs of sex. and the secret is the cast. and performance as mirror of reality. smart, interesting, far to be boring, without real ambitions, it is a good manner to be more than illustration of thesis or scene for a cause. it is not a real gay film and the cause remains the puzzle of nuances. it is not a manifesto because it reflects common facts. the joy, the ambiguous feelings makes it credible. and refreshing. the message is universal. and the performance, not bad.

Excellent depiction of a three-way romance. Beautifully shot and acted. I wish there was a sequel!
