When we were Queers (DVD)
10 November 2008
This movie is a good illustration of a passionate romance based only on intimacy. No matter whom the lovers are deep inside, their pleasure is in the flesh, whatever it is with women or men. So, when the mind and feelings come, they lose their bond and they can leave each other.

With the years passing, this truth gets less powerful but in the tragic era of World War Two, every second can be decisive.

I found the cast wonderful: I just like Penelope Cruz's accent and it's an evidence that Charlize Theron is a damned good actress! The scope of this love story is appealing between stern England, cool Paris and wounded Spain!

As full of it, a very good surprise!

(the only flaw: the Parisian neighborhood looks really like a movie set, and I don't say this just because I live in Paris!)
