PASSAGES
Screening Thursday, November 9, 2023, 7:00 PM @ Cinestudio (additional screenings run Nov. 3-8)
Celebrated filmmaker Ira Sachs (Love is Strange) makes a breathtaking return with PASSAGES, a fresh, honest and brutally funny take on messy, modern relationships, starring Franz Rogowski (Great Freedom), Ben Whishaw (Women Talking) and Adèle Exarchopoulos (Blue Is the Warmest Colour).
As the shooting for his latest production wraps up, director Tomas (Franz Rogowski) celebrates in the company of his husband Martin (Ben Whishaw), the film crew, and their guests. Among the latter, is Agathe (Adèle Exarchopoulos), a young woman who invites Tomas to dance. Soon, the two begin a passionate affair, one that would not just put strain on the relationship between Tomas and Martin, but also resonate through the wider circles inhabited by the three main characters. Personal matters interrupt their professional lives, friends and family provide opinions – warranted or not – and the ménage à trois arrangement is put under further pressure as complications arise.

“Passages is one of the best love triangle movies I’ve ever seen, primarily because it is about the fluid nature of not just sexuality but desire. And as Tomas, Rogowski gives an electrifying, star-making performance.” – Max Weiss, Baltimore Magazine
“This is a smart, lustrous film, and a bracingly honest one, the kind of movie that leaves you feeling both invigorated and a little blue.” – Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
