After their award-winning collaboration in Wild Side, screenwriter Stephane Bouquet and screenwriter/director Sebastien Lifshitz came together again to create the sensual and meditative Come Undone, which explores a young boy's homosexual awakening and the turbulence of first love.
Taking place at a seaside town near western France, Mathieu (Jeremie Elkaim), a quiet 18-years-old spending the summer with his troubled family, meets the handsome and aggressive Cedric (Stephane Rideau) who takes an interest in the younger man. Mathieu quickly becomes enraptured by his mature lover, who offers him a different world view as well as an escape from his family -- a frequently absent father, an emotionally-ailing mother weighted down by a tragedy and a distant and bitter sister, all of them barely held together by their housekeeper. However, as the summer comes to an end, Mathieu must decide if he means to continue this intense affair.

An emotionally subtle film with some surprisingly graphic sex, Come Undone follows 18-year-old Mathieu (Jeremie Elkaim) as he goes on holiday with his depressed mother, her cranky caretaker, and Mathieu's resentful younger sister. At the beach, Mathieu meets Cédric (Stéphane Rideau), a handsome teenager with whom he begins a romance after a kiss in the moonlight. Their relationship is threatened by Mathieu's fears of how his family will react and by a violent former lover of Cédric's, but ultimately is brought to an end by something else entirely. Come Undone shifts fluidly back and forth in time and can be confusing, but by the end it's an affecting portrait of both love and melancholy. Some will find the movie worth seeing just for the many shots of the extremely attractive naked actors romping on the beach. --Bret Fetzer
