Dir. Robin Campillo – drama – France 2017 – 135 mins.

In Campillo’s film, euphoria meets despair whilst the racing heartbeat resembles a ticking time-bomb. It really is a race against time, because it’s the 1990s, the AIDS epidemic is raging in France cloaked in the silent acquiescence of the government and pharmaceutical industry. Parisian ACT UP activists try to break through that silence with rallies, marches and vigils.

The film won numerous awards, including the Cannes Grand Prix in 2017 and six Cesar Awards, among others, for Best Film and Best Original Screenplay.
