What surprised me even more was that it didn’t stir up any controversy when it was first shown at the Cannes festival last year.
It lurked in the shadow of La Vie d’Adele, which shook the earth by showing a tumultuous lesbian love affair in all its aspects. Two French queer films, albeit totally different from one another, which gained quite some attention and praise. In this series from the Wachowski siblings, a group of eight people including a secretly gay Mexican movie star find themselves telepathically linked. The former an instant classic, the latter a drag.
