All Yours

2014, Belgium

Lucas (BPM star Nahuel Perez Biscayart) is a young and penniless Argentine escort who arrives in a small Belgian town to visit Henry (Jean-Michel Balthazar), a gay bakery owner who fell in love with him online. Henry buys Lucas a plane ticket to Europe hoping he will sleep with him and help out at the bakery. While Henry and Lucas’s ideas about living together clash, Lucas grows closer to his female employee Audrey (Monia Chokri). The three of them soon find themselves caught up in a complicated love triangle. All Yours earned rave reviews at film festivals when it first debuted. Variety said that it “consistently surprises with the maturity and
generosity of its emotional outlook” and called it “refreshingly poly-sexual.” Director David Lambert is the same filmmaker behind the revered 2012 romantic drama Beyond the Walls.

In Paris in the early 1990s, a group of activists goes to battle for those stricken with HIV/AIDS, taking on sluggish government agencies and major pharmaceutical companies in bold, invasive actions. The organization is ACT UP, and its members, many of them gay and HIV-positive, embrace their mission with a literal life-or-death urgency. Amid rallies, protests, fierce debates and ecstatic dance parties, the newcomer Nathan (Arnaud Valois) falls in love with Sean (Nahuel Perez Biscayart), the group’s radical firebrand, and their passion sparks against the shadow of mortality as the activists fight for a breakthrough.

 

BPM (Beats Per Minute) is one of the most acclaimed gay films in a year full of them. The Los Angeles Times called it “A restless, engrossing dramatic portrait of Parisian activists fighting the AIDS pandemic in the early 1990s.” The San Francisco Chronicle said “BPM is a true and committed document, a worthy piece of filmmaking that keeps faith with the people it memorializes.” The film is also the official French submission for the 2017 Academy Award race for Best Foreign Language Film.
