DVD Mini Reviews - Before I Forget

Jacques Nolot wrote, directed and stars in this portrait of a gay man with HIV as he approaches 60. The story takes place in Paris. Pierre (Nolot) has lost his long time lover and doesn't feel that great. He is offered a new treatment but doesn't know if he wants to take it (he has HIV for 24 years). Pierre goes to young hustlers but that doesn't really do the trick for him.

This film is a very honest portrayal not only of a gay man but an honest portrayal of aging in society. The characters in the film are all very believable. And the film is beautifully shot.

If you are looking for a film that is frank and doesn't beat around the bush then you will like this film (as I did).
