Nathan Stewart-Jarret and George MacKay star in the tense gay revenge thriller Femme
Nathan Stewart-Jarret delivers an extraordinary performance in the new gay revenge thriller Femme, playing a celebrated London drag artist named Jules.
One night after a show, Jules steps out to get some cigarettes and ends up in a violent clash with a homophobic stranger played by the equally electrifying George MacKay.
Months later, out of drag, Jules recognizes his foe in a gay sauna. His inexplicable attraction to the repressed brute soon presents the opportunity for a slow and methodical revenge.
With a constant undercurrent of danger, Jules’s pursuit of humiliation and the outing of his assailant turns soon becomes a thrilling, morally ambiguous study of power and deception.
Sexually charged, riddled with tension and featuring two unforgettably daring performances from both lead actors (who shared the “Best Joint Lead Performance” prize at the British Independent Film Awards) Femme offers a daring modern queer take on the classic film noir genre.
