Jan 20, 2010 A bizarre love triangle among a transsexual prostitute & 2 bi-sexual men. Depressing as [Presque Rien] in vein although the latter looks way more substantial than this one. See more Nov 4, 2009 Very well-directed glimpse into the intertwined lives of two bi males and the transsexual they both love. Ironically, Yasmine Belmadi died in a scooter accident this summer; his character tells Mikhail about a serious accident he had on a scooter. See more Jun 24, 2009 It started a little confusing and kind of slow... but once you got to know the characters and begin to understand their relationships, their sorrows and their past, you get really involved in their stories. The cinematography is fantastic and combines with the melancholy of the story. The three main characters are magnificently interpreted. It's sad that some things are left in the air, but i think that was the point. Here's a very poetic and beautiful movie, that people should see it without any kind of prejudice.

See more Apr 19, 2009 la sequenza iniziale più toccante che mi sia capitato di vedere di recente. (antony, con la sua voce.) See more Jan 7, 2009 This is definitely not an action packed thriller. Think of it more as a French version of Transamerica. Stephanie Michelini plays a pre-surgical transsexual prostitute who returns home to care for her dying mother. A moving performance. Her two live-in lovers join her in the countryside. The entire film consists of the interplay between these three unlikely lovers and their reminiscences of their lives up to this point. Poignant and thoughtful, rather than wild and wooly, it presents a solid argument for allowing people to be who they are without trying to make them fit society's approval. So if your thing is bang-bang shoot-'em-ups, this won't work for you. But if you are willing to be uncomfortable and to follow this non-linear story, you might be rewarded with a new sympathy for a sad segment of society. This viewer found the relaxed pace and the scenery to be quite enough to keep one entertained. See more Read all reviews
