A sexy proposition in every respect.”—Jonathan Romney, Screen International
Celebrated filmmaker Ira Sachs (Love is Strange) makes a breathtaking return with Passages, a fresh, honest and brutally funny take on messy, modern relationships, starring Franz Rogowski (Great Freedom), Ben Whishaw (Women Talking) and Adèle Exarchopoulos (Blue Is the Warmest Color).
Set in Paris, this seductive drama tells the story of self-involved film director Tomas (Rogowski) and Martin (Whishaw), a gay couple whose marriage is thrown into crisis when Tomas begins a passionate affair with Agathe (Exarchopoulos), a younger woman he meets after completing his latest film.
Perceptive, intimate, and unashamedly sexy, Passages sees Sachs bridge his usually tender style with a uniquely European sensibility, providing an effervescent and authentic take on the complexities, contradictions, and cruelties of love and desire.2023, U.S./France, DCP, in English and French with English subtitles, 91 minutes.
