F. Est Un Salaud (1998)


Dans les années 70, Beni (Vincent Branchet), un adolescent épris d'émancipation, tombe amoureux de Fogi (Frédéric Andrau), chanteur et leader rebelle d'un groupe de rock. Tout à sa passion, Beni ne perçoit pas la déchéance de Fogi, dont il devient l'esclave. Quand il ouvre enfin les yeux, il tente de se raccrocher à son amour mais devra prendre la décision la plus terrible de sa vie.

In the seventies, Beni (Vincent Branchet), a teenager falls in love with the lead singer of a popular rock band Fogi (Frédéric Andrau). The self-absorbed rocker soon cools down and his attitude toward Beni veers into sadism. To pay for Fogi's drug habit, the obsessed Beni agrees to sleep with other men, sometimes wearing a collar, and soon he begins to fantasize that he's a dog. When Beni starts to realise that Fogi is at the edge of losing himself, he holds his love but will have to make the worst decision in his life...

F. EST UN SALAUD is a Swiss film titled FOGI IS A BASTARD in English with a cast of French actors. It is a very disturbing piece but a very good one that it had won for itself Best Film in at least one of the film festivals. It's a story of love so powerful that it can destroy one's life. And it also showed how terrifying drugs can be when it overpowers its users. It makes me believe that on occasions, it is best not to give all, and putting limitations sometimes works more successfully.
