The Pleasure Principle

DirectorDiego Costa

2010
78 min

An illegal Tunisian immigrant wanders the streets of Paris. A bourgeois gay Jew wanders the rooms of his apartment. Once in a while they meet and engage in games of seduction. Provocative dialogue and raw contemplation of the male body make this docu-drama, which explores the (im)possible contact between socially straight men and the gay men who desire them.
