18-year-old Parisian high-school senior Rémi is studying business and management, working part-time in an Arab grocery store, and is attentive to his seriously ill father. After he applies to an advertisement looking for extras for a film, he finds a whole new world of sexual experience opening up to him.
This medium-length film (44 min) lays out the groundwork for Lifshitz's later work, like Presque rien (Come Undone, 2000) and Wild Side (2004).
IMDB - 2 wins
Remi is a 18-year old North African boy living in Paris. He tries to take care of his sick father in between school, a job and a girlfriend. A casting session for a film not only opens up new possibilities but also introduces him into the world of gay sex. He starts looking for himself on the streets, at a dance rave and in a gay sauna. Les Corps Ouverts is a so-called poetic film that shows the frictions between lifestyles (gay/straight), identities (immigrant/French) and cultures (conservative/modern). Remi struggles to achieve something and become himself but the road turns out to be a confrontation.
