Sorry Angel 
Outburst is delighted to present a preview of the new film from French gay director Christophe Honoré (Les Chansons d'amour).
Sorry Angel is a tale of sex and death, love and friendship - of one man coming into his own and another preparing to say goodbye to the world and let its wonders slip from his grasp.
1993. Jacques (Pierre Deladonchamps) is a writer living in Paris. He hasn’t yet turned 40 but - sick though stable with AIDS - already mistrusts that the best in life is yet to come. Arthur (Vincent Lacoste) is a student living in Brittany who refuses to think that everything in life might not be possible. He wants the same creative community that Jacques outgrew ages ago, the pair’s eventual love affair becoming a shrewd window into intergenerational contrasts and a treatise on conflicting ideals.
Sensuality and mortality commingle defiantly in this radiant and wrenching new film that offers a variation on the formula of Andrew Haigh’s delicate two-hander Weekend for the Francophile set.
