It is summer. We are at an isolated lake, surrounded by mountains and forests. This is a cruising spot for men. That is where Franck meets Michel and falls in love. Michel is a beautiful, charming and mortally dangerous man. Franck knows it, but wants to live out his passion anyway. Selected for the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival 2013, the film won a Best Director award and the Queer Palm, dedicated to queer-themed features.
Alain Guiraudie
Born in 1964, in France. He made his first short, Les héros sont immortels, in 1990. In 2001, his medium-length Du soleil pour les gueux was shown at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight. In 2003, he made his first feature, No Rest for the Brave. He went on to direct Time Has Come (2005), best screenplay at Turin, and The King of Scape (2009), which brought him back to the Fortnight. Festival do Rio presents this year a retrospective of his work.
