Sorry Angel (Plaire, aimer et courir vite)
Love moves in mysterious ways in writer-director Christophe Honore's 1990s-set gay romance. HIV-positive writer Jacques (Pierre Deladonchamps) has resigned himself to the idea that he will never forge a meaningful connection with another man. He puts up emotional defences as protection until he wanders into a cinema and catches a glimpse of the much younger Arthur (Vincent Lacoste) in the dark. Unlike Jacques, Arthur is at the beginning of his journey of self-discovery as a gay man and he is keen to explore every facet of his identity away from the close-knit small town where he grew up. The two strangers enjoy each other's company and agree to meet again. The men's feelings intensify but Jacques has commitments to his dying ex-lover Marco (Thomas Gonzalez) and he occasionally seeks comfort in the company of a male hustler called Jean-Marie (Quentin Thebault).
