Summary: Les Nuits Fauves - savage Nights
Comment: This is a film made by a man who knows he is dying, and wants to leave something of himself behind for prosperity. He gives us a real take on life - one that is hard to come by except from the viewpoint of one who really has started to appreciate the value of life, because he knows it will be taken away from him soon. He discovers and starts to understand the value of love, beyond his sexual activities, in particular through his girlfriend who has her own deep emotional problems. This film is full of real life characters and real life scenes, to such an extent I have not seen in any other film.

Summary: Unusual and Effective
Comment: This film centers on a bisexual in Paris who has a rough relationship with alot of people, including his parents, his girlfriend, and homophobics. The film itself is as realistic as fiction can get, and entertains without needing sensationalism. The end sequences, where time is filmicly altered to give someone a second chance at love, hit a deep current in me. This may be a 'gay interest' film, but for someone like me who is not gay but appreciates a courageous, quality film, this is an intriguing, unusual pick.
Customer Rating:
Summary: awsome, educational, gutsy
Comment: I just now discovered this movie. At first I was shocked because it was not something I expected to see. This one is definetly one of my favorite movies (I have my own copy of 'Savage Nights" film and a novel it was based on). It is very sad that the author is not with us anymore. I can realy admire him and his work for being so open and honest, I am sure locking those qualities. I give Cyril Collard and his movie a 10 star rating.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Savage Nights is a semi-autobiographical story of the rebellion of a suburban Frenchman with AIDS (writer-director Cyril Collard) who carelessly slips in and out of bisexual affairs. A major hit in France, where it won the César (the French equivalent of an Oscar) three days after its creator died of AIDS, this is a bitter, energetic look at love in the '90s, one that is far removed from Jonathan Demme's more whitewashed Philadelphia. Collard's story is jumbled, but his presence is inviting as a latter-day bohemian. Romane Bohringer (The Accompanist) plays one of his loves, a woman with maddening devotion. --Doug Thomas
