Passages

Fans of French New Wave cinema won’t want to miss Passages (2023, Rated NC-17) at Cinestudio. Celebrated filmmaker Ira Sachs makes a breathtaking return with this fresh, honest, and brutally funny take on messy, modern relationships. Set in Paris, this seductive drama tells the story of Tomas and Martin, a gay couple whose marriage is thrown into crisis when Tomas begins a passionate affair with a younger woman. Christian Zilko of IndieWire calls the film, “Generously tender… the kind of love triangle that rings true because we aspire to its sexier moments but see ourselves in its most selfish ones.”
