Sorry Angel
Bursting with vitality and intelligence
At once an intimate chronicle of a romance and a sprawling portrait of life in early 1990s France, SORRY ANGEL follows the intertwining journeys of Jacques (Pierre Deladonchamps), a worldly Parisian writer, and Arthur (Vincent Lacoste), a curious, carefree and much-younger university student who is just beginning to live.
Brought together by chance, the two men find themselves navigating a casual fling that gradually deepens into a tender, transformative bond; Deladonchamps (Stranger by the Lake) beautifully lends his hyper-articulate sophisticate a haunted tenderness, but it is Lacoste, best known for comedy, who steals the film with an unexpectedly powerful performance, bursting with vitality and intelligence.
Critic Reviews:
- “Lavish in its beautifully written dialogue and heartfelt sincerity” – Little White Lies
- “A film that has both a narrative and an approach that transcends the expected cliches in order to give viewers a more ambitious experience.” – RogerEbert.com
- “The city – and the film itself – seemed to be bathed in blue, and it somehow feels both warm and cool at the same time. Warm, as in richly evocative, but also crisp and unsentimental.” – Arizona Republic
