Run Time:
97 minutes
Like an animal in the woods, a young male prostitute roams the city. He hunts the streets and the public parks for men who are eager to pay for his beauty and his services. This gives him food and occasional shelter, as well as crack to provide oblivion. WILD reveals his days and nights with unflinching honesty and detachment. The explicit, sometimes brutal, sex is portrayed as naturally as the unexpected moments of tenderness and brotherhood with other prostitutes. But drugs and homelessness are taking their toll. WILD compels you with its edgy and stark realism. It takes us deep into a world of bleakness and beauty, of sudden violence and sudden compassion. Will the hope of love with a fellow hustler or the ethereal promises of a way out claim him before sickness does? Can love and redemption be found if he is unsure what they are or how to recognize them? In the end, is it what he truly wants? WILD has the stunning answers. (In French with subtitles) —C.R.
