Sources at Variety are buzzing about the new Ira Sachs film, 'The Man I Love.' It’s the steamy, poetic gay drama that's got everyone talking after its premiere in Cannes, and trust us, the hype is REAL. This flick plunges into the lives of lovers in late 1980s New York, exploring heavy themes of love, lust, death, and art. And if early reactions are any indication, it’s a total knockout.
Rami Malek, playing an amateur theater performer battling AIDS, is already racking up critical acclaim. But it's his on-screen chemistry with Tom Sturridge that’s got tongues wagging. Sturridge spilled the tea on finding the “physical language” of their relationship in the film – you know, the good stuff that makes a drama *really* dramatic. And if that wasn't enough, Sturridge is also joining Mia Hansen-Løve’s next project. Get ready, because these two are about to OWN the big screen!
