Synopsis
SAUVAGE / WILD
Leo is 22 and sells his body on the street for a bit of cash. The men come and go, and he stays right here — longing for love. He doesn’t know what the future will bring. He hits the road. His heart is pounding.
“A powerful portrait of a gay male prostitute in free fall” – Guy Lodge, Variety
Reviews
Gut-punchingly authentic with radiant moments of tenderness.
– Lisa Nesselson, Screen International
Raw, uncompromising and yet strangely romantic.
– David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
The most boundary pushing film since Gaspar Noe’s ‘Love’
– Gregory Ellwood, The Playlist
