FIRST CUTS
PECCADILLO
Director Olivier Peyon explores the powerful force of first love in his emotional drama Lie with Me, based on Philippe Besson’s autobiographical book of the same name. Successful gay novelist Stéphane Belcourt (Guillaume de Tonquédec) returns to his sleepy French hometown for the first time in decades to promote a distillery. He then discovers one of the people behind his trip home is Lucas (Victor Belmondo), the son of his teenage crush, Thomas, who is now dead. Vivid memories come flooding back as Stéphane processes old feelings and ponders what might have been. Meanwhile, Lucas begins to truly understand who his late father was. The roles of the younger Thomas and Stéphane are played by Julien de Saint-Jean (pictured left) and Jérémy Gillet (pictured right), respectively.
