L'acrobate

One of the best queer movie I've ever seen. With mainstream actors in unsimulated scenes & the overall background..that's what it is needed. keep bringing more of these and you would have your fair share of success & audience.

I feel it as a personal experience. Because it is wise crafted, honest in profound manner, shocking for direct manner to explore a relation and for fair use of bitterness and close cinematography, for acting and for the feeling after. An appartment, two men - a French man and a Russian artist -, a mix of sado - masochism and addiction, frustrations of one , ended with a terrible revenge, the deep loneliness of the other , losing his mother, accepting cruelties of the other,large slices of love - affection-loneliness- experiences and little more and something very emotional, escaping to words, descriptions, verdicts. Short, just a special film or, more simple, an experience. Inspired music,the building site as frame and metaphor for story, clashes and the cold end. And a lot of fantasies, experiences, desires maybe, in some measure, to familiar.

I had the opportunity to view this remarkable new French-Canadian film and it left me wanting more. I was totally taken by the intensity and sexual tension between the two main leads. A careful, even at times subdued performances created a sensually charged atmosphere and I was captured by it instantly.

Without giving away too much, I would say that finally we have reached the age of honesty and truth in gay filmography. At times I did not believe I was actually seeing such level of intimacy from the leads. It was a completely new experience for me. It was not cheap or sleazy affair. On the contrary, I felt the characters as if I was in the room with them. To be able to take one's viewers right into the scene takes a lot of talent from the director and the actors. it is a unique achievement. Simply put, I believed them.

I hope that we will see more of Yury Paulau - a new discovery of this feature - and Sébastien Ricard - who is a seasoned actor with many titles which I venture out to find now.

Rodrigue Jean, the director, made a courageous, honest film and I applaud him. Needless to say I will be looking for his previous and hopefully future work.

Go and see this film. You won't be disappointed.

Was interesting. Seemingly dark and intense, graphic scenes that would shame. And filmed in a very arty way. Like a media studies student on final exam...

However it just stops... There's no end... I suppose it's art imitating life, but seriously I like my films to have an end...

Ok movie the storyline?

There is no explanation, there is no explanation towards the end of the movie, there is no explanation about the ending and it's a bit too long.
