Patrice Chéreau’s The Wounded Man is a feverish, uncompromising portrait of adolescent desire that deliberately refuses the comforts of conventional romance. Jean-Hugues Anglade gives a raw central performance, and the film’s nocturnal stations, corridors and back rooms create a world of obsession and danger. Difficult, but undeniably powerful.
