Le Chanson D´amour
A reader sent along the below YouTube video which is an excerpt from the 2007 Belgian French film Le Chanson D´amour. In it, two hot boys share a cigarette and sing about love.
I don't know anything about this film, but according to IMDB, it contains "the most romantic man-on-man love scene since Rupert Grave's Alec Scudder climbed through Maurice's bedroom window 20 years ago". If said love scene features the two boys in the video, sign me up.

I saw this movie last year in France. It is brilliant and haunting, and won a lot of acclaim at Cannes. Please go see it if you can, it is really good. It's about death and mourning... but manages to make you feel so optimistic and cheerful.
Its French by a openly Gay director.
Love songs is a good movie – but I hardly agree with IMDB’s assessment. In fact, the gay scene is thrown in at the end of the movie and the viewer, in my opinion, is confused why Louis Garrel’s character is kissing a boy in the first place; besides the obvious fact that he is morning the unexpected death of his girlfriend and is confused by such tremendous grief. One will find better homo-erotic tension and Mr. Garrel in 2003s The Dreamers. That being said Love Songs is still an excellent modern movie/musical.
you know, almost everyone i've ever spoken to about it disliked the dreamers, but i thought it was totally great. if only for the scene where michael pitt and the french girl fuck for the first time and she bleeds all over him. i'd never seen that happen in a movie before. i like it when movies treat sex as something real. something messy. like there's something to it beyond the aesthetic that media so often play it up as. i shouldn't be on the internet after drinking beer.
I was pretty much loving The Dreamers right up until they DIDN'T get gassed. I don't see why it needed to literally go back to the '68 revolution at the end. Overkill. Boring overkill. Whenever I watch it, I just turn it off after the gas scene and pretend it's the end.
