Je suis à toi

I absolutely knew not what to expect from that movie, and it made my evening. The type of movie that only a Belgian/ Québécoise cooperation could produce. And that's an immense compliment. It's hard and tender at the same time. The most unlikely like be triangle. And the décalé Belgian touch. The interview of the director is not to be missed

Well, after reading some comments ... I can say ... for me, yes, it is a completely credible "gay" story. It is also a film that includes the theme of AIDS, because the virus (even if we forget it) and sometimes the disease (when it is not treated), are still here. Third, it's a movie about lies and sincerities at all times ... because real people are like that (no one is "binary", good or bad). Fourth, I loved the interpretation of Nahuel Biscayart, because he plays a very genuine young Argentine, with all the personality (that mixture of bad humor, exaggeration, insecurity and sexy tenderness) that characterizes them. I also really enjoyed seeing Monia Chokri again (which I like from her performances in Xavier Dolan films). And finally, I liked the sense of humor of the film in general.

Definitely not a gay movie at all. Something to do with poverty and the extent people will go for a better life. A struggle between taking advantage of others and damaging lies, later Love found from all the mess, its truly a roller-coaster of a movie, suitable for straight audiences, if L.G.B.T not the movie for you in finding strength in accepting yourself. Has more of negative stereotypes, that may hamper one in a road of acceptance.

Also could serve as a warning to gay men, to keep away from love found on the net from other parts of the globe, you never know who you may be inviting into your life, under the pretence of love,could be a straight guy just looking for a visa. So,also has that clearly defined storyline. Equally that women should be careful with msm, not to sleep with men who sleep with men, as you may get diseases. As i said its a movie that is definitely depressing and makes no sense, what the intent of it was, its definitely confusing. The main character definitely isn't into guys at all.The baker that he tricked, is ridiculed,abused, taken advantage of its sad and really miserable, to top it all.

I repeat if one is definitely coming out or looking to find positivity in their homosexuality. Definitely would advice keep away from this, its the negative stereotypes of society pushed into one movie. Wont leave you feeling happy and strong, in finding fulfilling gay relationships that build you positively. Neither is it a beautiful sorrowful tale of love lost,sorrow or struggle on a (respectful) gay relationship basis but rather, the usual negativity.

I saw this film at the Film Fest Ghent 2014, where it was part of the official Competition section. Venue with 600 seats was reasonably filled but not sold out, the latter possibly caused by the announcement of explicit gay sex scenes in full view, which usually holds people back from buying tickets. The plot is unusual, the developments are unusual, and ditto can be said about the conclusion. Yet, nothing of this is far-fetched. The protagonists are not extreme in any way, just normal human beings with normal deficiencies and normal reactions towards other people.

Several sub-plots are added to clarify what our three protagonists expect from life and what they think they need to improve their existence. Eventually, not everything works out as ideally assumed based on the ingredients (two men, one woman). But that is precisely what makes this film heart warming, augmented with some humor to lighten the tone, and filled with sympathetic characters.

The final Q&A was conducted in french with only a few sentences translated, so went past me for the greater part. All in all, I was very satisfied with the final product, and could do nothing else than giving the maximum score for the audience award when leaving the theater.

What was this movie all about ? Its impossible to believe if this happens in reality and if such individuals exists they don't deserve any sympathy. I feel this kind of subject can give a very wrong message. A middle age gay man who is doing good for himself invites a unknown young teenager to his country without knowing anything about his back ground , this teenage guy who is not even good looking once arrives mistreat the man , steals insult abuse him still this guy with out any self respect continues pampering him. Surprisingly this guy is hiv positive and is aware of his condition has sex with the middle age man and his bakery assistant who is single mother. Which mother on earth will leave her child alone with a stranger being aware he also worked in porn movies. In one scene its shown this guy handling the dough without his shirt with all his body hair sticking on it and he is also shown sitting on it and than making bread with same and selling in bakery. Even after knowing that the guy is hiv positive and he lied to him he still continues to keep him in his house and also let him work in the bakery making bread as if it's normal . The single mother even though is good looking and desirable still goes to the shady club leaving her child behind to make out with the infected guy. What kind of movie is this ? What message the maker or the writer think he is passing to the society. Infact instead of liking the character you start hating them for their stupidity. Avoid it.
