This is one of the best French films about being human and living at the far reaches of society. It's a bracing, sexually explicit, and ultimately engrossing tale about choice. I loved it, but I found some of the sex scenes near the bone for my tastes - it's full on.
Sad but compelling story with an outcome that was pretty inevitable under the circumstances.
Obviously a film that would only appeal to a small percentage of people, but I enjoyed it.
