Plaire, aimer et courir vite

Thanks to its warm empathy, tactful soberness, and gripping subject matter, Plaire, aimer et courir vite is one of Christophe Honoré’s best and most personal films.

He immerses his audience in the 1990s in France and reminds us of the ravage that AIDS reaped there. An unsuspected love blossoms between a Breton student and a Parisian writer. It is Arthur’s first time, but Jacques’s last. He has AIDS and doesn’t know if he can take this unexpected opportunity. A fine, refined drama.
