Open Bodies
Alternative title: Les corps ouverts

Directed by Sébastien Lifshitz

The film follows a few days in the life of Rémi, an 18-year-old Franco-African boy exploring his fluid sexuality in contemporary Paris, offering a glimpse into multicultural France in the late 1990s.
Open Bodies is an intimate early work from Sébastien Lifshitz, already showing his interest in desire, youth and emotional uncertainty. The film is modest and observational rather than dramatically forceful, but its natural performances and quiet handling of sexuality give it an appealing honesty.
