10 GREAT FRENCH GAY FILMS
The latt our seri of wrers remendg unrseen films highlights a French g-of-age gay drama * french gay drama *
I Am Jonas is one of those: a dark, atmospheric French drama I only stumbled upon bee I was sperately lookg for somethg I haven’t watched Netflix’s LGBT tegory film, a lightful slow-burn, picts Jonas at two very different pots his life – first as an unhappy, aimls gay man livg the cy, and also as an optimistic teenager explorg his sexualy for the first time wh Nathan, a wild, reee new kid. La Cage x Foll (1978)Tradnally France has been seen as one of the most liberal untri the world, and boasts an enviable rerd on gay rights, spe the ocsnal rantgs om Brigte Bardot.
We’ve kept the list to films that are easily available to watch the UK, but honourable mentn should go to The Ostrich Has Two Eggs (1957), a dated farce that at least has a sympathetic gay son, albe one who never appears on screen, and L Amiés particulièr (1964), set a boys’ boardg school. Un chant d’amour (1950)French wrer Jean Ge is one of the key figur of gay culture, whose novels (cludg Querelle of Brt), plays and says have been champned by gay and straight rears alike. There’s nothg explicly gay here, but any film that shov Jacqu Perr a sailor su, squeez Gee Chakiris to tight whe troers and rat self wh lavish, lurid sets fely has a queer eye.
Blier’s films often foc on two aquate men ung agast women (L Valss, the Osr-wng Get Out Your Handkerchiefs), and unrton of homosexualy have always lgered the air.

When a woman (Amira Casar) slash her wrists a gay bar, she challeng her homosexual rcuer (Italian porn star Roc Sifedi) to spend four nights wh her to “watch me where I’m unwatchable”.
It’s easy to snigger at the portento dialogue (“The elasticy of a boy’s an don’t lie about the tightns of the lower tt”) and the assumptn of misogyny may rile male viewers, gay or straight. Most reviews foc on the showy performance of the equently naked Nilas Cazalé as the rebel whout much of a e the first chapter, but the emotnal heart li the fal third, as Morel explor the plexi of the vulnerable gay youth who mt choose between aternal loyalty and a chance at romantic happs. L Invisibl (2012)Sébastien Lifshz is bt known for his gay featur (Prque rien, Gog South), but his ft work to date is this revealg documentary which gay men and women their 60s and 70s talk about their liv and lov.
