An appreciable compilations of plethora of questions of life and desires, homosexuality and coming-out behind a single question of love.
Directed by French director Christian Faure, Just a question of love very well managed to bind me to discover the beauty of hanging questions till the last scene. The story establishes a love story of two gay men, Cedric (Stéphan Guérin-Tillié) and Laurent (Cyrille Thouvenin), one of whom is proudly out while the other still in closet. Based on the theme: Are we really love our children as they say?, the screenplay and script very well revolves around the basic idea, putting light on the difficulties faced by a gay child (Laurent) belonging to a conservative family, on the other hand depicting the support of an understanding mom of a gay son(Cedric). I really appreciate the work of entire cast, especially, Emma, Cedric's mom (Eva Darlan), and the off screen crew.
Laurent, a 23-year old college student, masks his gayness from his family by living with his best friend, Carole. During his agricultural research under Cedric, Laurent falls for him. He wants to live openly like Cedric, but certain fears halt him in doing so, whereas Cedric cares for him but does not like him to live two lives. He introduces Laurent to his mom, who accepts his son as well as his boy friend. The unwillingness of Laurent to come out to his family creates distance between them. Hence begins intense portrayal of the test of the two lovers' relations as well as the parents-son's relation.
Overall, the movie is worth watching!
