An HIV-positive Parisian (Cyril Collard) has unsafe sex with two people (Romane Bohringer, Carlos López) before and after they learn of his condition.

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

The film has a degree of candour and integrity which is exceptional in an industry which ordinarily relies on teamwork.

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

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.

Un film bouleversant qui bouscule les certitudes sur l'amour, la vie, la souffrance, la folie...les couleurs, les musiques, tout nous entraÃ®ne dans un tourbillon de sentiments exacerbÃ©s, de violence et de tendresse avec des couleurs et des images superbes.

Un film emblÃ©matique d'une Ã©poque, devenu classique, intemporel. Peu facile d'accÃ¨s, spontanÃ© 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 hÃ©sitations des personnages et la folie qui les gagne, l'Ã©motion prime sur toute rÃ©flexion, avant la fin et la conclusion.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
