Cannes Day Nine: He Wants to Fall in Love With Me
from Stories in Motion · host D & J
Film forty-four of the festival and Ira Sachs' The Man I Love is the finest AIDS film in years precisely because it refuses to be an AIDS film. Rami Malek, Tom Sturridge, a ruinous love triangle in 1980s New York, and a dance floor scene shot in midnight blue that is one of the most alive things at this Cannes. We talk about what Sachs does that no one else does, and why this film will stay with us.
