A gay man cheats on his husband with a straight woman in this fiercely sexy and heartbreaking tale of young Parisians
iercely sexy and piercingly sad, Ira Sachs’s new movie is a tremendous return to form after the disappointment of his. It’s a love triangle in which two gay men and a straight woman find themselves in a polycule of resentment; a celebrated young film-maker cheats on his husband with a young woman, and then in an evolvingly weak and dishonest way, tries somehow to finesse a continuing desire for his previous partner with this new heterosexual relationship.
Deeply hurt, Martin draws into himself; Tomas’s affair with Agathe continues; but he panics at the thought of losing Martin, and attempts a reconciliation with an explosively and uncompromisingly explicit sex scene.
The result is sadness and pain, but it is arrived at via an exhilarating and fascinating adventure. Sachs has in the past been the poet of middle-aged people’s feelings. Now he has gone down a generation, almost into Eric Rohmer territory, into the world of younger people who have much less experience of disappointment and compromise. Or perhaps, in this world of cosmopolitan sophistication, it is Woody Allen territory or Nora Ephron territory.
