Vassili is an aged prostitute with killer instincts. He
finds an unconscious young man in the Forest of Boulogne
and takes him home. Now lovers and accomplices, the two
men become a couple in prostitution and steal from their
clients. And yet, menaces of retaliation leave the
couple with no choice but to escape from Paris. The
runaway begins...
User Reviews
Surprising love story, completely free of stereotypes
I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I expected to based
on other online reviews. There is a good bit of nudity,
but not a lot more of Dimitri Durdaine than anybody
else, and (in contrast to at least two others, including
Stéphane Rideau) none of him that would qualify as "full
frontal" - "full side" is more like it, and even those
rarely show much except skin. Some other reviews give
the impression that he almost never wears clothes and
that the camera examines every square inch of his body,
neither of which is true at all.
What there IS more of in this movie than most is naked
middle-aged and older men, which may bother some people
but delights me. Except for Durdaine, all of the naked
men in this movie have pot bellies, including Rideau
(who''s getting comfortably close to middle age himself),
which is wonderfully refreshing in an age when only
bronzed and hairless gym bodies under 30 ever appear in
American gay movies (Can we say BOR-ing?).
Now that nudity''s out of the way... There''s something I
like a lot about Gaël Morel''s movies, but I''m not sure
what it is. There''s something very natural or
unpretentious about them, something familiar and almost
comforting, regardless of the subject matter. I feel
like I''m among friends when I watch his movies. They
FEEL good in some mysterious way comparable movies by
other directors don''t. He has an eye and a style and a
language that are quite distinctive but not easy to
define; whatever it is, I like it.
