Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader What seems most significant about the camera and editing styles is the way they play against one another. Rated: 3/4 Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Vanessa Letts The Spectator The film has a degree of candour and integrity which is exceptional in an industry which ordinarily relies on teamwork. Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant In his portrayal of a man sentenced to death but living life to the fullest, Collard has put together a compelling and original study of daring, dangerous, almost homicidal sexuality in these plague years. Rated: 4/5 Apr 16, 2018 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com One of the first and most audacious films about AIDS, in which director Collard cast himself in the lead because French actors were reportedly concerned about playing a bisexual, HIV character. Rated: B Nov 29, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Gritty and emotional film about a man's irresponsible and irrational life choices when faced with a grave disease. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member voilà, c'est fait - j'ai re-vu tous ses films mythiques qui ont plutôt mal vieillis: Un monde sans pitià (C), Diva, Les nuits fauves - et je n'arrive plus tout à fait à comprendre l'effet que ses films ont pu faire sur moi, sur toute une gà (C)nà (C)ration ... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful and realistic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film bouleversant qui bouscule les certitudes sur l'amour, la vie, la souffrance, la folie...les couleurs, les musiques, tout nous entraîne dans un tourbillon de sentiments exacerbés, de violence et de tendresse avec des couleurs et des images superbes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Gritty and emotional film about a man's irresponsible and irrational life choices when faced with a grave disease. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film emblématique d'une époque, devenu classique, intemporel. Peu facile d'accès, spontané et original. L'histoire autour du film renforce l'aura de celui-ci et les situations choquent la "morale". Le jeu des acteurs transcrit bien les hésitations des personnages et la folie qui les gagne, l'émotion prime sur toute réflexion, avant la fin et la conclusion. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
