I ran out of Netflix so back to our own library.

Today, revisiting André Techiné with

L'embrasse pas / I Don't Kiss (1991)

A young man comes to Paris and finds life.

Part of that is the realization he has no talent, no skills, no basis for a job at all. At least not one that he wants. Dishwashing is not a solution.

He meets a prostitute and realizes this is a way for him to make some money and have what he wants.

For awhile this works and then it does not.

He is taken in by an older gay couple who influence him to go straight.

Which he does. But not in the way that they had in mind.
