Love which cannot be fulfilled - compare with The Lover (1992)

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2018)

This is a film about agonizing love which cannot be fulfilled. The gender constellation of the two main characters does not matter - the universal message transcends the fact that there are two men. The way in which the two main characters are tormented and their lives remain empty without each other can be compared to L'Amant by Marguerite Duras, screened as a film by J. J. Anaud in 1992.
