MAN AT BATH

Featuring porn star François Sagat and Chiara Mastroianni, Homme au bain, whose title is a reference to a Caillebotte painting, is set between Gennevilliers and NY, where Omar and Emmanuel spare each other nothing in order to prove to one another they are no longer in love.

A low-budget vision expressively set between New York and Gennevilliers, Christophe Honoré’s small yet ambitious movie is a portrait of separation. Staged in a inspired framework with an indelible cast and aesthetic sensibility, it is one of the great queer love stories in recent French cinema.
