A simple recipe , easy to shock,being , in essence, a beautiful, delicate love story. A cold, precise, realistic, maybe, portrait of gay circle life. The only problem - the murders, except, off course, the last.. Dimitri Dourdaine has physical traits for be a sort of Antinous or Tadzio but, in same measure, it explores the role in fair manner. The suggestion of Hadrian Antinous couple sounds nice and works decent. At the end , maybe, the most significant scenes are the first, with admirable Jean Chrisophe Bouvet remembering his youth as beginning of circle. Surprising, more than seductive film, for suggestions, aspects of every day life explored in wise manner, the end and the gentle manner to define the characters. It is one of films who propose , at the final, more a ball of states than a story in proper sense. And that is its precious virtue. To discover loneliness, love, frustrations expressions, soft use of nudity and sex scenes, loyalty in high measure, lonely motherhood and murder as way of justice in sort of Raskolnikoff perspective. A good film for its messages first.

It's such a great love story it brings together the pain of how homosexuals have to live but yet you can't feel sorry for they intentionally Go out of their way to hurt people just to survive but they take it to a little bit of an extreme it kind of shows you how during the whole movie it's almost as if you don't feel bad for what they're doing because they make you think it's what they have to do to survive but if we were to see this from a different point of view we would see that what they're doing is wrong and in a criminal act the fact that they're in love kind of makes you feel like what they're doing isn't so bad because they're doing it for love but that is wrong they are killing ceiling just to find happiness little did they know they could find happiness trust within each other and they have but they took what they had for granted and wanted more this is definitely a highly recommended movie I've loved it!

The movie is a downer...the first scene with the older man doing the exaggerated stereotypical movements of a gay fluttering his hands and so forth (what straight audiences from the 50s think gay men do with their hands etc...) disabused me of much hope for an enjoyable experience in watching the movie. Then when Rideau strangles him I thought oh no this is another depressing movie about gays. Rideau at 35 is a looker named Vasselli (the only reason I continued to watch this thing)--he is a hustler hooker and hooks up with an anorexic 25? year old Durdaine (Angelo) and they proceed to travel around beating up and killing mostly pot bellied naked some what kinky middle/older aged men. These men usually hire them for 3 ways (one of them put a gas mask on Rideau while having Durdaine use a * on him). This last unfortunate gets his head smashed with a rock after putting a live rat on a naked Durdaine's buttocks. Rideau as Vasselli does all the killing Durdaine as Angelo his anorexic side kick merely looks on admonishing not to do it again. About this time it occurred to me that Vasselli's name might be a play on Vaseline--surely not! I also kept thinking where are the flics (cops)? Angelo steals money out of a (presumably camera equipped) ATM..they are spotted in a gay bar. Then we cut to a seamy heterosexual part of the movie. For the vast majority of gay men it is a complete downer to have the gay "heros" be bisexual. But by this time after a couple smashed skulls and strangled clients I cared nothing for the main characters in this film. This new sex angle female character is strange looking and works in a bar doing a magicians act she has a biracial 10 year old boy. Here the story explores the smothering mother angle as real cause of gay life (so insulting to gays). The boys name is Vasselli so we have to assume this is a quasi flashback telling us what warped Rideau as a child---things like having his mother give him too affectionate baths and so forth. Another typical negative stereotype. The movie ends when the little boy watches his mother having Rideau and Durdaine plug her from both sides at the same time with lots of moans--(there is a soft * side to this film lots of male nudity and sex scenes.) The kid saw Rideau kill the 2 men in the house they are staying in and he thinks they are killing his mother. He runs outside and tells a passing motorist about it leading to the gendarmes putting these serial killers out of business. I was going to give the thing a 3 then thought of the bisexual sandwich scene and gave it a 2. Then I thought of the walk away message of gays as serial killers all caused by a smothering mother and gave it a 1. Again there is nothing redeeming about the movie if you are gay it is particularly distasteful. Avoid Evitez. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Still, is rare to find a good gay theme film with crime and thriller taste, well I think "Our Paradise" nailed it. Interesting romance, stabbing scene, sex, and emotion mixed well. The only lack was the ending. A little bit to illogical. There are dream come true but other doesn't. This film none of that. The part still bothering me that Vassili did every psychopathic symptoms for love or personal pleasure. Vassili (played by Stéphane Rideau) is an mature gay hustler with killing instinct, triggered if he get mad or insulted. But, look like everything change when found young hustler almost beaten to dead Angelo. He took care of him and eventually they felt in love. Another killed by Vassili intended to secure they're needed fulfill and paradise came true. The last killing was mostly intended the lust for money. My focus still on Vassili psychopathic behavior. I don't really know it was personal issue or love. But, love really expensive and can't be bought by money, but is worth it when they end up in jail? If it is, I don't see any paradise.

This film made me feel a weird combination of emotions. "Wild Reeds" and "Come Undone" converted me into a Stéphane Rideau fan (I mean he was very attractive when he was younger), so I enjoyed seeing him in another movie. I also enjoyed Stéphane and Dimitri Durdaine together and I was kinda rooting for them as a couple (minus the crimes). However, I could've done without all the murder. One was bad enough, but it got a bit out of hand by the end... And then the presence of a young child in the background (and eventually foreground) of all the drama made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I didn't like it. Poor tiny human, he's probably scarred for life now. Also, shame on Victor's kept boy, Kamel, for being so nasty in front of and towards an innocent kid. I didn't want him to get killed, but I also didn't like the guy at all..

This is not an easy movie to watch, because of the extremely cynical and negative story. An aging (30 something) hustler hooks up with a mysterious angelic newbie, they develop a love-affair but also continue having payed sex with older men, in the process robbing and even murdering them. Gaël Morel (director and writer) hardly provides any backgrounds, so it's hard to understand their drives and motives (if any). Vassili seems mainly to act on uncontrollable impulses and Angelo, after some initial hesitating, just goes along with it. Sure, we see tenderness between the two, and they also have a warm relation with Vassili's best friend Anna and her little son, but for the rest we get to see two opportunistic, relentless and very unsympathetic persons, which makes it very hard to relate to them. When in the end justice at last is served, this feels right, but the movie ends so abruptly right there and then, that you are still left unsatisfied: what will happen to them? Is there any remorse? Somehow I missed in this movie urgency, it didn't seem to go anywhere at all, in fact in the end we are left with the same questions as at the start, like: who are these two, why do they do these horrible things?!? Vassili is played by Stephane Rideau. I saw him recently in "Wild Reeds" ("Les Roseau sauvages") by director Téchiné (in that movie a young Gaël Morel by the way played the leading role), Rideau was only 18 years old back then, and stunningly handsome like a young Alain Delon. But now, at age 35, he looked old, puffy and worn-out. It totally fitted his character, as well as this movie's premise of old versus young, but still I was a bit taken aback by this change. On the other hand: kudos for his courage to not hide anything, but on the contrary, making it instrumental to the movie! Young Dimitri Durdaine is not just cute, but holds himself pretty well and is convincing enough as the somewhat intangible and mysterious love-object. There's a fair amount of sex and nudity, not unusual in Morel's films, and fitting the subject.

This film is Hitchcock from beginning to end but with a French twist to give it an extra bit of fizz. The ending, however, was a misfire and since I am a writer myself I wrote an alternative ending which works for me and I think would work for the film. My ending is about love - the four men involved fall for each other and live happily ever after. The real ending is as Hollywood as Hollywood can get and for a French film that is a bit odd. Still, the more I think about the film the more I am really taken by how strong the characters are and how difficult their circumstances. Let's face it, we all see rough times, even dark times, and the two leads in this film are thrown into some pretty choppy seas.
