Wild Reeds (1994)
Les Roseaux sauvages
As the Algerian War draws to a close, a teenager with a girlfriend starts feeling homosexual urges for two of his classmates: a country boy, and a French-Algerian intellectual.
🏳️🌈 André Téchiné's masterful French coming-of-age drama (originally Les Roseaux sauvages) explicitly centers its narrative on a complex queer matrix, tracking a teenage boy coming out as a gay male.
