Jacques is a writer living in Paris. He hasn’t turned 40 but already mistrusts that the best in life is yet to come. Arthur is a student living in Brittany. He reads and smiles a lot and refuses to think that everything in life might not be possible. Jacques and Arthur will like each other. Just like in a lovely dream. Just like in a sad story.
Christophe Honoré makes a controlled film, with sporadic brilliant moments, but also with a style that wants to proclaim himself heir to the old French tradition. [Full review in Spanish]

Honoré's vision is less propelled by political agitation than by the personal negotiations of queer existence that ripple across its multi-generational cast.
Sorry Angel deserves to find an international audience, not least because the whole thing is just so drippingly French, all breezy beauty and smoke-wreathed, bookish wit.
It's often considered a bad thing for a film to come across as novelistic, as if that meant that it weren't cinematic, but Sorry Angel is certainly that, and deeply involving on every level.
The lines have a consistently witty, acerbic sting; the voices we hear belong to men who are at once entirely comfortable in their skin and yet unafraid to discover new things about themselves.
