Rating:  - If you want porn, move on
I think we expect films about gay people to be "sexy" and L'Homme Blesse is not. One reviewer mentions that in a simulated sex act one actor sucks his own thumb--as if this were incompetent film making rather than being the plot point it is. (The character is faking having sex--he refuses to have real sex with the main character though they are frequently in erotic situations.)
Without being "sexy" the film is erotic. But since the desire is unrequited, the "cute boys in their underpants" ... Read More
Rating:  - Alienated Loner Hitches His Hopes
L'homme blesse (The Wounded Man) is a melancholy French film showing the progression from emptiness to hopefulness to despair of a young man seeking to build a new life, but with the wrong boyfriend.
Henri Borowiecki (played by the best actor in the film, Jean-Hughes Anglade) coexists with his indifferent family in a city.

Rating:  - A Sordid, Depressing Mess--SAVE YOUR MONEY!
What a hopeless movie! While this may not be the most incompetent gay movie around, it's among the most difficult to sit through. Every moment of this film is a squalid endurance test. It's about a lonely, mixed-up youth who becomes obsessed with a petty thug. As the obsessed young man, Jean-Hughes Anglade does give a sensitive and convincing performance. Perhaps this is why this film has gotten some good reviews. But Anglade has nothing worthwhile to work with, and his talent goes to waste. Everyone ... Read More
Rating:  - "What I Did For Love"
"L'Homme Blesse" is a deeply affecting portrait of human loneliness and alienation that transcends its grittily realistic depiction of the French gay underworld of street hustlers and sex in dark corners. Its themes of isolation, unrequited love and the search for meaningful connections are universal, and are displayed in this film with enormous sensitivity and power.
The main character's struggle is one that most of us have encountered; that being, loving someone who is clearly not right for us, ... Read More
Rating: - Just don't buy this DVD...
Disatisfaction guarantee!
Extremely poor DVD quality almost kills this outstanding film.
VHS would be much better.
