A gay Parisian romance turns toxic for Ben Whishaw
There comes a time when you must date the worst person. Instantly charming , enthusiastic and caring, they come into your life, both dream-like and out of nowhere. And you will watch those qualities shift: excuses are made about boring things, work or the weather, until this person disappears completely, with an even more boring explanation, or more likely, none at all. If you have not dated this person, your best friend has, or else your colleague. Worst case scenario: this person is you.
Tomas is a hot, exacting German filmmaker married to an English printer Martin . They live in Paris, they drink wine in a nice kitchen, they escape to their country house. But then, at the wrap party of his new film, Tomas sleeps with a teacher, Agathe . To call it cheating betrays the open-endedness of this film, in which Sachs resists any urge towards definitiveness.
What does Tomas want? The simple answer is, what he can’t have. But Sachs and co-writer Mauricio Zacharias explore more complex and modern causes than what might be defined blandly as narcissism in contemporary pop psychology. He misses Martin’s care and attention, of course, and reacts badly to some of Agathe’s domestic demands . Most telling is his confession that he misses being in a gay relationship which, for Tomas, entails limitless freedoms.
