JE M'EXCUSE - Court-métrage sur la violence conjugale entre hommes gais 

No you are not the only one. I saw my first foriegn language film when I was a student at Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA in 1978. I took a movie appreciation class & to get extra credit our teacher told us about a movie that was in French. "Jules Et Jim". When I had access to Turner Classic Movies, I saw several films with subtitles & they were wonderful! From beautiful Senoia, Georgia.

It's also possible to study French, also called the language of Love. I'm Russian, I learned English, Dutch, French, German and Hungarian. It makes your life much richer, trust me! :-)

Yes, you are the only English speaker willing to read subtitles. That’s why all those subtitled movies and TV shows and short films like this are made. Just for your viewing, K.M, in Florida. 🙄

Merci!

It seems like he has a job. He might not make as much money as Sam, but I don't think he would be destitute without him.

Unfortunately most oft he relationships are infected with a lot of jealousy and sellfishness.

Wasn't he working when he was giving that woman advice on the phone?

It would be interesting to see if there were any warning signs early in their relationship.

Franchement

Waouh 🥰🥰❤️

I thought Sam was a little older than Louis.

Rien de prévu pour l'instant, mais sait-on jamais! Merci pour le commentaire.

Hey I'm the director of this short film! No, Louis didn't murder Sam at the end, but sadly he wasn't able to leave him either, thinking maybe it was his fault that the two fought. Domestic violence is a vicious cycle, and we wanted to show that, sadly, it's not always easy to get out of it, and that's why friends and family have to stay alert to signs too. Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed it!

@@francispapillon3520 That´s why is so important to be financialy independent. You can spare the suffering and the humillation and put an end to the partnership if the things go wrong!

​@@francispapillon3520Why did you include the stuff about Louis having HIV? It didn't seem to have much of an impact of the story.

@@annelally There are a few different reasons. First, the organization that sponsored the film ( MIELS-Québec ) caters to people living with HIV, and they felt their reality is seldomly seen on screen. It was important to me to show that Louis could live a perfectly normal life with his HIV medication. But most importantly, people living with HIV are more at risk of being victims of domestic violence. HIV status can be used as a lever of manipulation and control by their abusers. There is still a stigma about HIV, and a lot of people fear they will be left alone and not find anyone else if they leave their abusive partner. Sometimes people have not told their families, friends, coworkers about their status, and their abuser could threaten to out them. They can also be more direct and shame them about their status, or control how they take their medication.This is what's happening here. Sam is constantly infantilizing Louis by reminding him that he has to take his medication, and then when he has a fight, he tries to further dominate Louis by using his HIV status against him. Thank you for your question, I hope this answer gives you a bit more perspective, there is more information about this subject if you want : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_in_same-sex_relationships#:~:text=There%20are%20many%20health%20related,tactic%20to%20control%20their%20partner.

It's sad.

Yes they are

A vida sao feitos de baixos e altos como uma onda no oceano... as vezes a vida pode ser duro e outro vez mais facil mas a vida fica bela.... essa curta metragem é em frances do Québec... un français un peu différent de celui de la france

C'est juste l'accent québécois
