English title: The Wounded Man.
Synopsis: A young man meets a pimp in a train station and is taken by an obsessive attraction toward him.
Appraisal: Energetic account of a doomed love; despite all the energy, the film is ultimately flawed in so many ways that it would be tedious to enumerate them. Too much vagueness, to begin with: it is hard to know what exactly each character has in mind that leads them to do what they do. Perhaps a little more backstory on some of them would help. Also, the sex scenes are borderline ridiculous - allow me not to dwell on that, though. The ending is disgusting.
