The Wounded Man

While seeking to use the facilities at his rural town's train station, repressed, closeted 20-year-old Henri (Jean-Hugues Anglade) stumbled upon intense hustler Jean (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) as he slapped a client around. A bizarre attraction emerges, as the youth finds himself becoming the cat's paw for his new Svengali's shakedowns of older men. Patrice Chéreau's rediscovered groundbreaker co-stars Armin Mueller-Stahl, Claude Berri, Lisa Kreuzer. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailers. In French with English subtitles.
