about life
2 September 2017 | by KirpianuscusSee all my reviews

a film about life. like a manifesto. no compromises. almost, no story. only a confession. and two splendid performances of Romane Bohringer and Cyrill Collard in a film who propose questions, doubts, pain and a love story who becomes the lead message. and this is the motif for admire it. for the atmosphere and for the cruel-precise perspective about existence, HIV and need to conquest each step of survive against yourself. a film far to be comfortable, dark and strange and too, too direct in its deep, large honesty.
