Before I Forget gets into the hardcore concerns of an ageing gay Parisian, Pierre, a one-time gigolo who muses on a life lived within the commerce of sex and love. Still satisfying his needs with young hustlers, Pierre is consumed with the economic pressures of an ageing life built on an illegal business, whilst hoping to inherit from a wealthy former patron. Director Jaques nolot is a genius of subtle consideration in his study of the world he inhabits and audiences will be both intoxicated and humoured by his unconventional vision of normality. A classic.
