Christophe Honoré

A complex, intimate, strangely serene, and challenging exploration of sexual desire as a hiding place. Sex makes a promise of something so intense to the characters that they feel they must enter it in secret - through violence, or under the guise of an unrelated transaction, or by rationalizing its dangers away, or through using it as material for a purely aesthetic project.

Christophe Honoré returns to his timeless themes of family, mortality, and sexuality in a gay coming-of-age story imbued with breathtaking poignancy. As a teenager trying to make sense of grief, newcomer Paul Kircher is devastatingly good—and shares the screen with none other than Juliette Binoche.
