Love is Strange director Ira Sachs turns his attention from his native New York to a very French affair set in gay Paree in this Teddy Award-nominated whirlwind of tempestuous relationships. MQFF fave Franz Rogowski (Great Freedom) plays Tomas, a wildly unpredictable German filmmaker who ditches his sweet-natured English artist hubby Martin (Bond star Ben Whishaw) in favour of new passions with Agathe, a schoolteacher played by Blue is the Warmest Colour lead Adèle Exarchopoulos. Emotional mayhem ensues when he then ricochets back and forth between them in a real bad boyfriend take on polyamory that pushes all the right/wrong buttons. Just try stopping yourself from shrieking at the screen when he misbehaves, and yet Tomas remains a fascinatingly mercurial character in a satisfyingly adult film that, for all its mischief, swirls into the sublime.
“SACHS DELIVERS AN ACHINGLY BEAUTIFUL FILM THAT’S SEXY, SAD AND SO VERY FRENCH.” - STEPHEN A RUSSELL, TIME OUT
