***some spoilers***
I saw this movie and was totally amazed. If you love foreign films you have got to watch this one. Although considered of the "gay-themed" Genre, it totally transcends that label. It captures the essence of extreme passion, especially when Cedric and Laurent first get together; how one has to hide his true self for acceptance, especially from his family; and how a family, especially mother's, react to their son being gay. One aspect of gay-themed movies often neglected is how a gay man's female best friend always yearn for him, even though she has a lowly chance of ever getting with him.
THe acting was superb, you really feel like there was real chemistry between the two main characters, although in some scene you could sense that Thouvinin was uncomfortable with the kissing. Gearen-Tillie, was in total control of his character, he was gay but not feminine: counter-intuitive to most other gay-themed movies.
