The Man I Love (1997)
Directed by Stéphane Giusti
Overview
This is a combination coming out and first love story. The swimmer and diver Lucard is interested in attractive Martin. The film follows the characters’ coming out with all its difficulties, the bitter-sweet pleasures of first love and the dreadful moment when one comes down to reality and realizes that one’s beloved friend has a hard way to go yet. The positive message the film tries to transmit is the somewhat common motto “Live each day of your life as if it were your last.”
