One such independent release is the latest from American director Ira Sachs, a feature film called Passages – which played on home turf earlier this year’s Sydney Film Festival in June. The queer French thriller is packed with the kind of hot, messy drama and erotica that threatens to pique even the most beleaguered of attention spans – and certainly feels like it winks at the genre of 80s and 90s erotic thrillers that have weaselled their way back into popularity this century.

Here’s everything we know about the film so far…

What is the film Passages about?

Against the backdrop of modern-day Paris, a German filmmaker, Tomas (played by Franz Rogowski) and his husband, Martin (played by Ben Whishaw), have the boundaries of their 15-year marriage tested and blurred when they each begin to have extramarital affairs.

A jealous battle of contradicting emotions force Tomas and Martin to come to terms with the tumultuous nature of their relationship, and decide whether they can happily reside within the confines of their marriage. The film overall has a lot to say in the mottled discourse about infidelity, love, sex, and monogamy in today’s landscape.

When and where can I watch the film Passages?

For now, you’ll have to find a screening of Passages at a participating cinema near you. But we’re hopeful that the independent film will end up on a major streaming service not too far in the future. We’ll keep you updated here as we know more.

Bisou bisou. An eternal symbol of femininity has become the epitome of what this sustainable French brand imagines for the future of beauty: “virtuous and circular”. With an estimated 1 billion lipsticks being thrown away every year, La Bouche Rouge offers women an object for life. Each pigment, including our favourite, Neon Giedre, a neon matte red created for Paris Fashion Week by model Giedre Dukauskaite, comes in a plastic-free, fine leather case, customisable with monogrammed initials and infinitely re-fillable. Because an item you love should never go to waste.
