• Resumen

  • Cyril Collard´s Les nuits Fauves (1992) divided critical opinion between a minority who saw it as a radical exploration of sex and those who regarded it merely as yet another guilt-inducing fantasy on aids as a punishment for homosexual acts. The early 1990s was a critical time in which the gay community was still struggling to face the issues brought on by aids. Mark Nash places Collard´s film in a European context of radical filmmaking, removed from political correctness and identity politics, and daring to show the more problematic aspects of human sexuality, risking a fiercely subjective narrative on promiscuity, passion, pain and anger.
