"Théo & Hugo, Paris 5:59": The gay movie of the year

A story of sex, love and HIV

GAYLES.TV.- Red and black. Theo and Hugo. The 20 first minutes of this film take place in the darkness of a gay club between coitus, fellatio, kisses and groans. A powerful start to a film that is recreated both in sex scenes and in love scenes. And is that "Théo & Hugo, Paris 05:59"Portrays the crudeness of sex and romantic romance with equal skill.

The tandem in the direction formed by Ducastel y Jacques Martineau resort to real-time narration, 92 minutes elapse between 4: 27 and 5: 59 that names the movie. As the third protagonist we have the stage; Paris, the nuit. The eastern part of the city of light takes center stage as an accomplice in the birth of a love. Because that's what Théo and Hugo are about. Of those first moments in which we begin to feel without knowing very well what and we are loaded with doubts and desire. And the laughter, complicity and conflicts come from the hand of the leading couple who hold the weight of the entire footage without blinking. The interpretation of Geoffrey Couët y Françoise Nambot is so natural that we plunge into your emotions with total subtlety. The film is always balanced between love and sex, finding a balance between the two. Undoubtedly one of the films of the year, the Audience Award in the Berlin Festival endorses it.
