Stark and truthful drama - Sauvage review by AER
An unflinching portrayal of life on the streets. A gay street hustler, Michel, finds himself imperilled an a cycle of increasingly dangerous situations with his sex clients. He also learns that his health is rapidly deteriorating and despite his best intentions and ways to live an alternative safer and healthy life present themselves we learn the truth about what Michel really wants.
This is one of the best French films about being human and living at the far reaches of society. It's a bracing, sexually explicit, and ultimately engrossing tale about choice. I loved it, but I found some of the sex scenes near the bone for my tastes - it's full on.

Sad but inevitable ! - Sauvage review by JT
Sad but compelling story with an outcome that was pretty inevitable under the circumstances.
Obviously a film that would only appeal to a small percentage of people, but I enjoyed it.
