Gay film love in the time of civil war

It's unclear if director Rodrigue Jean and writer Ron Ladd were trying to say anything specific about the setting. A lot of this movie takes place on cold, snowy, city streets and inside various crummy apartments that end up being drug dens. If those streets aren't recognizable, then it can be learned that the movie progresses through the Canadian-French city of Montreal. Although it might not be anything specific about the city Jean is trying to declare, it might simply be the kind of person at the center. The movie puts in the middle a drug addict who gets by through the use of prostitution.

Alexandre Landry stars as Alex, the drug addict and prostitute in question. As the movie goes along, he drifts from one person to another, one situation to another, but each person and each situation are more drug addicts and more prostitutes. Alex does briefly latch onto a drug dealer and his girlfriend, but everyone else are drug addicts and prostitutes.

To compensate for more drugs, Alex does hook up with gay men and deprive them, so Alex is not the greatest of characters. At no signal do you like Alex, his ways or any of the people with whom he associates. It's dark and depressing to watch Alex dri

Synopsis:

Alex is a young addict. Although he sells his body he still nurtures a few dreams. Bound in dependence to a collective of equally disparate characters, days and nights are a seemingly endless cycle of sex and drugs. Orphans of a feral tribe, they live and love, restless vagrants in the shadows of society's comfort and indifference - and yet somehow some humanity, even poetry survives. An unflinching, topical see at the darker side of gay life 'Love in the Time of Civil War' is heart-stoppingly captivating.

Calling this film ‘two hours in hell’ is not meant as a put down. This is an accomplished film in most ways. The actors are wonderful, even excellent at times and the director captures a sure sense of place and knows how to depict situations with amazing realism.

This is the type of motion picture that pulls the viewer into its world, using a semi-documentary style. Filmed in a frigid, grey Montreal, it̵ gay film love in the time of civil war

Love in the Hour of Civil War

Rodrigue Jean

BY Ben HarrisonPublished Sep 15, 2014

This year's festival has seen a trifecta of masterworks from Quebec directors in Xavier Dolan's Mommy, Stéphane Lafleur's Tu dors Nicole and Love in the Time of Civil War by Rodrigue Jean. While the three films couldn't be any other in tone and approach, they are all hyper-focused on the lives of a small collective of characters and the intense personal bonds they give, whether in the light comedic flourishes of Tu dors Nicole or the formal effectiveness of Mommy. Jean's Love in the Moment of Civil War, a portrait of gay drug addicts living on the streets of Montreal, is easily the most gruelling of the trio, even compared to the emotional heartstring-tugging of Dolan's film. Jean's steady, documentary-esque approach coupled with unprocessed, fearless performances from his ensemble produces a harrowing motion picture that is one of the foremost of the festival and this year.

The film's success is in creating a landscape of exteriorities, settling into the margins and fringes of Montreal's urban landscape. The film's winter setting pushes its emphasis on the city's unseen spaces even further, as ch
