Studying xxx brings a deep sense of frustration. It is always impossible for...

But show some concern, if only for yourself.… '

      A particularly literary horror film without a female lens

      The French really don't know how to make horror movies, they are so artistic.
      The first hour of the film is devoted to the natural expression of sex on this natural beach: the field is full of nude males with their genitals, either lying down, or walking back and forth. They were all looking around, looking for someone to copulate with. At the beginning, the scene felt like a pure GV film. Although the picture had no soundtrack and no aesthetics, the picture was so natural that it seemed...

      【131114】★★☆A murder movie with no explanation for the motive of the crime, boring. I also think the roles of Henry and Planck are dispensable. The discussion of "Catfish" means too much. The last night scene has done a lot of...

    Movie quotes

    • Henri: Are you married?

      Franck: No.

      Henri: But you live with a woman?

      Franck: No, I'm gay.

      Henri: You only sleep with men?

      Franck: [smiles] Can we speak frankly?

      Henri: It's unusual.

      Franck: What is?

      Henri: Guys who sleep together, sure, but they've got a wife or girlfriend. Guys who are gay - I mean, really gay - are pretty rare.

    • Franck: [smitten by Michel] I really like him.

      Henri: [warily] He does have a nice body.

      Franck: It's typical. The guys I like are always taken.

    • Michel: Did you come alone today?

      Franck: What do you mean?

      Michel: Without your boyfriend?

      Franck: What boyfriend?

      Michel: The guy you're always with.

      Franck: We're not together.

      Michel: Really? I thought you were.

      Franck: We barely know each other.

      Michel: I'm surprised. You seem happy together.

      Franck: And what'd you do with yours?

      Michel: He's not really my boyfriend, either.

      Franck: He seemed hooked the other day.

      Michel: No. It's just a casual thing. Nothing serious.

      Franck: What if he sees us?

      Michel: He won't.
