DVD Review: Tragic
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a tragic story of two lovers whose relationship comes to an abrupt end by picking up strangers stranded on a lonely highway. Matthew and Jeff were deeply in love on their way to a gay festival in Montreal. Matthews stops for three drunk guys whose car broke down. After Jeff mentioned where they were going, they become victims of three homophobic white guys. Matthews was forced to stop the car after a knife is pressed against his neck. Jeff is beaten (possibly to death) on the ground. The guys went on to take Matthew to Montreal, there they make him to take his clothes and try to rape him. They abandoned him. After Matthew comes around, he gets dressed and walked to the nearest hospital suffering from total amnesia due to trauma.
The movie goes on to the tribulations of people trying to help him medically, with dwelling, and new friends, in Montreal. The only two things that Matthews remembers were that he was gay and his name was Jeff Brighton (the truth is unravel as the movie progresses.) He spoke French as his grandmother was Cajun and taught him. A psychiatrist helped him initially with a lot of therapy. An older male member of a Montreal Gay Organization offers him housing and introduces him to the gay community by making new friends. But Matthew becomes very despondent, frustrated, and angry with his memory loss. After a few commercials on the local TV and the US. His family from Tennessee comes to claim him.
Also a Canadian French student (Sylvie) doing her thesis in criminology becomes involved in studying and researching his case. She becomes very interested in him and his future.
Matthews moves back with his mom and family in Tennessee but it is short lived. He moves away and starts driving everywhere looking for peace in his tortured life. He finally settles in Virginia, meets another guy, a French teacher in a local college. He starts building his relationship with him, and a new life. Sylvie comes to visit for one last time, but get a letter from Matthew saying goodbye. Matthews never regains his memory. The pieces are put together in the movie for the benefit of the audience. There is a scene where Matthews kicks his lover on the ground, probably to save his own life.
This is a Canadian movie, made in Montreal, French Quebec, and both French and English are both spoken. This is TLA release.
This is not too bad of a movie, and it is mostly presenting a story of a man trying to regain back his life after a bad trauma, it could be a depressing movie. Other than the bedroom scenes between Matthew and Jeff, the movie is basically a very serious drama.
