After not writing in a while return to work for you on a day marked for some. Today is International Day for the fight against HIV. Last year they had talked a controversial film about the issue and now I will share another movie. I am delighted to return to work on this site hoping to bring many recommendations of series and movies.
the mid-eighties a young newcomer to Paris is to live with her sister. There begins to experience sexual life of the city. Manu, as the name of this young man will be one of the first generation people who are infected with HIV. s Witnesses have all become symbols for a movie testament to a time and a generation. Testimony of the chill, the pain and anguish of a generation of homosexuals who sees how overnight an unknown disease that has some biblical plague not only uproots their lives but their lifestyles. Furtive encounters in parks, the joyous and uninhibited parties, sex without atavistic prejudices of morality, the joy of living, especially now threatened by the specter of contagion, and probably also by the ghost of guilt, because of homosexuality, homosexuality punishment.
to me the film has managed helarme blood, because he has conveyed the anguish that must have passed the gay community in the mid-eighties, a torment that was twofold, first the enormous physical suffering an illness as mysterious as death, and second, the stigma of exclusion social consequences for the condition.
The film, narrated by four well-developed characters, in whose center is Manu, an Adonis who basically love angel beauty sexed, tells the story of a suffering people for reality and desire who are rarely the same thing. Téchiné has a special sensitivity to tell the dose bitterness that carries additional homosexual love, a love that dare not speak its name, love often hidden in a male world, heterocentric and brutal. On this occasion the additional pain comes in the form of physical illness, a more spine in a road full of thorns.
A Witnesses only you could blame some pacing problems, especially towards the end of the film, which may be extended a little. Otherwise I think an excellent movie, a testament to the suffering of a generation. I never tire of recommending it.
