Jacques is 35, and the threads of his life are unraveling. His writing career is wobbling, he’s inconvenienced by having custody of his young son, Louis, finances are poor, and living with AIDS is becoming increasingly more challenging. To further complicate matters, while on a trip to Rennes he meets Arthur, a beautiful and much younger man newly acknowledging his sexuality. They quickly fall in love. Arthur is fascinated by Jacques while Jacques is concerned his illness may not allow him enough time to open himself up to happiness. Set in 1993 against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis in Paris, SORRY ANGEL is a compassionate and erotic meditation on the methods of survival we choose in times of crisis. Jacques knows his life is a muddle with limited time remaining to repair it. He must decide if Arthur will bring joy into his life, or if he is just another way to outrun mortality. SORRY ANGEL pulls you deeply into their heartbreaking and romantic tale as it wakes the angels in us all. (In French with subtitles) —C.R.
