Angelic Antonin (Hubert Benhamdine), an aspiring punk rocker and sensitive soul is having a hard time. A university dropout, his family is being threatened with eviction, but Antonin himself is hypnotized by his band mate, best friend – and heroin addict – Alex (Frank Victor). A backroom tragedy plunges Antonin into a savage and scary quest for love. As money changes hands, a mec-à-louer is born. In his reckless and relentless adventure, he encounters the wild and winsome Juliette, a woman with a few secrets of her own… Hormoz Borbor’s infrared palette, edgy editing and frenetic photography occasionally threatens to overtake his brilliant debut about the bisexuality and byways of love. Evoking films like Avant que j’oublie and New Wave, Borbor continues the French queer film tradition of demolishing our self-serving myths and exploring taboos with discomfiting and uncanny candour. Liberally peppered with coldwave/post punk hits by superstars Complot Bronswick and LAShTAL, David Kelly’s evocative score drives this searing portrait of addiction, where love is the ultimate drug.

Jarle almost has it all. His band-mate and best friend is the anarcho-punk ideologue Helge, and girlfriend Kathrin is beyond cool. As the Berlin Wall comes down, their fortunes go up, as they score a chance to open for the local indie-punk wunderkinds, Mighty Dogfood. However, Jarle’s groove is instantly, if reluctantly, rocked by the arrival of the flaxen-haired, synth-pop siren, Yngve. As Jarle’s attraction grows, he starts letting his loved ones down, leading to a showdown at a private party – and the most unusual declaration of love in recent LGBT coming-out film… Debutant Stian Kristiansen was yanked out of film-school to direct this effervescent and entrancing distillation of Tore Renberg’s best-selling eponymous novel. Driven by an energetic New Age/punk score and its charismatic ensemble cast of unnervingly talented youth, The Man Who Loved Yngve almost single-handedly spearheaded a revival of Norwegian cinema. In addition to Patrik, Age 1.5, image+nation has the privilege of presenting not one but two Scandinavian films this year. [-]
