Vivre, Mourir, Renaître (French) [To Live, To Die, To Live Again]

It is rare to find a film that manages to transport an audience so effectively, yet this 2024 Cannes premiere achieves exactly that by immersing viewers in the 1990s and the HIV/AIDS reality faced by gay and bisexual men during those years.
