what an interesting dissection of cruising culture, gay culture more generally, and more the gay community’s own response to the AIDS epidemic.

love how the natural sounds of provincial were the score in some ways.

gonna have to go ahead and call this one a masterpiece and influential up to today.

small thing like the camerawork, costuming, production design all work in such gorgeous ways to really pull you in. that’s to say nothing of the understated script and gorgeous performances that pair exceptionally with the emotional score. so worth watching while on my trip to Nice.
