oh, this hurts. it hurts like a punch to the gut. it’s absolutely heartbreaking to see that physical intimacy between two boys is seen as “shameful” or too “feminine”. I don’t believe the teasing Remi and Leo experienced was spiteful, but regular childish behaviour reflected from adults. It’s a tragedy to see how it has been normalised to react in this way, and it’s most likely what caused this tragedy of a film. i do believe i’ll be stuck on this one for a long time. I think i cried more than Leo did, to be perfectly honest. This film is a perfect portrayal of guilt and how we miss it when it’s gone, I felt it in my core and it was agonising. I’ve never felt so deeply about a film before. A film has never hit me so hard. The silence after is so loud, it’s deafening.
