The Witnesses [Les Témoins]

"A beautifully acted ensemble film." – NY Times

André Téchiné's fast-moving yet lush new drama follows a close-knit group in Paris, 1984, contending with the interruption of a new sexual revolution. A beautiful young writer (Emmanuelle Béart), her working-class husband Mehdi, a hard-nosed police inspector of North African descent, and their friend Adrien, a gay doctor, are turned around when Manu, a young, attractive gay man, joins their circle. An unplanned love affair and the onset of the AIDS epidemic – seen at the time as a shameful, modern-day plague – upsets the ordered tranquility of their destinies. Ultimately uplifting, "the powerful storytelling projects the strongly affirmative message that it's a miracle to be alive and bear witness to those who did not survive ... one of Téchiné's best" – Variety. With subtltles. (André Téchiné; France; 2007; 112 min)
