I cannot express how low this film goes right from the start. How can someone suffering from the Aids Virus make love, unprotected, to unsuspecting people because he feels that the virus is not part of him ? What sort of message does this convey to the public ?
Just because this film is probably meant to shock it does not make its message acceptable or even interesting. Lots of people can be easily influenced by such contents. However passionate an affair can be, there is no excuse for displaying such a destructive and self-destructive behaviour as Cyril Collard does in this film. It is also twisted and despicable to make viewers believe that there is love between Jean and Laura in this story, when lust and perversion are the only words to describe their relationship.
Enough with cynicism all the time : being cynical about everything is not being talented, remember. Unfortunately, the more cynical the better these days. It is just too easy.
I hope that any other film on Aids will be thought-provoking and show some intelligence on the subject next time.
