Lie with Me

Celebrated novelist Stéphane Belcourt has spent a lifetime turning his past into fiction. When he returns to his provincial hometown after 35 years as the guest of honor at a cognac house's anniversary, the past turns up in person: Lucas, the son of his secret first love. Suddenly it is 1984 again — two teenage boys, a hidden romance, and a promise never kept. Olivier Peyon's acclaimed adaptation of Philippe Besson's bestselling autobiographical novel stars Guillaume de Tonquédec, Victor Belmondo, and Julien de Saint Jean in a story about first love, the silences that shape a life, and the book Stéphane never dared to write. In French with English subtitles, Lie with Me is one of the most beloved French LGBTQ films of its decade — tender, devastating, and unforgettable.
