French
Run Time:
97 minutes
Amid a frenzied orgy at a male sex club, Theo and Hugo’s eyes meet. Drawn to each other, the beautiful young men make love and leave the club together. Each knows something special has just happened. However, it is quickly discovered their passionate encounter was unprotected and one of them is HIV positive. From its intense and sexually graphic opening to moments of tenderness in the streets of Paris, PARIS 05:59 THEO & HUGO chronicles the first few chaotic hours after they meet. Coming to grips with both the wonderful possibility of new love and the frightening possibility of HIV transmission, Hugo and Theo begin an odyssey through the city that takes them from the clinical coldness of the emergency room to the romantic moonlit canals. Conjured by gorgeous cinematography that plunges us into vivid carnality then whisks us through the magical neon-lit night, these heart-melting young men take us on a fascinating journey. Erotic and passionate, PARIS 05:59 THEO & HUGO is an adults-only fable of modern love. (In French with subtitles) —C.R.
