Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Savage Nights is a semi-autobiographical story of the rebellion of a suburban Frenchman with AIDS (writer-director Cyril Collard) who carelessly slips in and out of bisexual affairs. A major hit in France, where it won the César (the French equivalent of an Oscar) three days after its creator died of AIDS, this is a bitter, energetic look at love in the '90s, one that is far removed from Jonathan Demme's more whitewashed Philadelphia. Collard's story is jumbled, but his presence is inviting as a latter-day bohemian. Romane Bohringer (The Accompanist) plays one of his loves, a woman with maddening devotion. --Doug Thomas

Bravo! (2002-07-18)

This movie is touching and heartbreaking.The lovely Romaine is perfect in her role as Laura ,the devoted girlfriend.Its a shame it didn't get more notice in the States.

Unusual and Effective (2001-03-02)

This film centers on a bisexual in Paris who has a rough relationship with alot of people, including his parents, his girlfriend, and homophobics. The film itself is as realistic as fiction can get, and entertains without needing sensationalism. The end sequences, where time is filmicly altered to give someone a second chance at love, hit a deep current in me. This may be a 'gay interest' film, but for someone like me who is not gay but appreciates a courageous, quality film, this is an intriguing, unusual pick.

awsome, educational, gutsy (2000-08-04)

I just now discovered this movie. At first I was shocked because it was not something I expected to see. This one is definetly one of my favorite movies (I have my own copy of 'Savage Nights" film and a novel it was based on). It is very sad that the author is not with us anymore. I can realy admire him and his work for being so open and honest, I am sure locking those qualities. I give Cyril Collard and his movie a 10 star rating.

Savage Life? (2000-03-15)

i completely agreee with the other reviewers. this is a life giving film that intrigues me every time i watch it. why? because it is real life. no apologies, no sermons, no backing away. i am deeply sorry that mr collard is not around to enlighten us some more. the film is rough, tough and gritty, but so is life. i treasure this film among my favorites. this was his life and whether we love it, hate it or just accept it, he brings his life (right or wrong)to us in a film that cannot be more truthful or more sincerely portrayed as he has done. i admire his humanity.

Incroyable (2000-02-29)

For my taste, this is one of the best French movies I've ever seen in recent years. It is bold and courageous, has a great story, and phenomenal acting. It is a big loss for all movie fans around the world that the person who made this movie is no longer here to make another one. This one is a keeper, buy and keep it forever.
