Foolish young man destroying his own life just to follow a street thief around train stations 😤
People are so abrasive in this movie that they don't talk. They burn one another with their hands. They clash so much that they can't even have sex - it's like any contact, any touch or remote sign of kindness is gonna kill them all.
The unrequited love of a wounded gay man can be so explosive and lethal. In the super erotic and super manipulative world of The Wounded Man, director Patrice Chéreau captured a queer amour fou with absolute restraint and melancholia.The young and sexually repressed Henri is inflicted with the ultimate gay curse of falling in love with a straight man, and everything will end in flames. In the underworld of hustlers, Henri goes through physical and psychological hell before making an inevitable decision. A young Jean-Hugues Anglade was fantastic as the naive twink in lust, and Vittorio Mezzogiorno looked exactly like what his character stands for -- an irresistible hunk incapable of loving. Highly recommended.
