MASS IN MOTION

When Alexis (Felix Lefebvre) capsizes off the coast of Normandy, David (Benjamin Voisin) comes to the rescue and soon opens the younger boy's eyes to a new horizon of friendship, art and sexual bliss. David's worldly demeanor and Jewish heritage deliver an ardent jolt to Alexis's traditional, working-class upbringing. After Alexis begins working at the seaside shop owned by David's mother (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), the two lovers steal every possible moment for a fugitive kiss, a motorcycle ride, or a trip to the cinema. Their relationship is soon rocked by a host of challenges, including an unexpected sexual rival (Philippine Velge) and a romantic oath that transcends life itself.

Adapted by Francois Ozon from Aidan Chambers's groundbreaking LGBT young adult novel Dance on My Grave, Summer of 85 is a sexy, nostalgic reverie of first love and its consequences from one of France's most versatile filmmakers. Their summer fling lasts just six weeks, but casts a shadow over a lifetime.

Enfant Terrible

FILM SKOOL

Enfant Terrible follows the life and impact of iconic German New Wave director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Featuring Oliver Masucci in an electrifying performance as the prolific filmmaker, the film tells the story of a child of his time of an extremely talented and dynamic artist who dreams of making movies about the cold-hearted, archaic Federal German society. We also get to see his longing for the respect and love of the outsiders - foreigners, underprivileged groups, convicts - and his fulminant rise to being one of the most important directors in Europe - which correlates with his mental and physical fall and his early death. Enfant Terrible is a must-see for Fassbinder fans and queer cinema lovers in general.

Enfant Terrible, a film by Oskar Roehler.
