Rich, bisexual Thomas makes his way through a swath of lovers of both sexes in Paris. His parents have died, and he doesn't have to work to earn a living, so his days are bacchanalia-filled affairs that run into each other in a hazy bliss. The only one capable of eking out genuine affection from him is his neighbor, Caroline. When she dies and leaves her son in his care, Thomas learns the joys of commitment and selflessness.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
fl1 You could watch this film just for the eye candy, or for the literary quotations, or for the art exhibits; but don't expect soft porn or high poetry, you won't find such excitements. Most of the time the scenes are too dark anyway.I think this is a story of continuous meaningless deaths, of people who get bonded by them, of incompatible relations, and of desperate attempts to make sense of all this.Two orphans are in love, but live and have sex with others; two sex dates love him but are not loved back. When a kid loves him as a father, and is loved back, everyone makes their choices at last, but the solution is too good to be true...
Hunky Stud This movie is so boring. It has this handsome guy on its DVD cover, but the main character is not the same guy at all! This movie is too long. And it is not coherent. Some of the scenes don't even make sense. For example, at the end of the movie, why did the girl have to run fast down hill then felled from the mountain? The policemen were just watching them, they were not chasing the girl.The photographer is also bad, s/he can't even hold the camera steady, you can see the pictures shaking, which is hard to watch.I spent the first hour watching it, but at the end, I just can't waste any more time on it. It is so meaningless. It has nothing exciting. And worst, its story is not even flowing smoothly.
ef11-1 this movie is really an independant movie! we can think at Gus van sant or Larry clark it is a very interesting way to talk about our society, parents from the end of the sixteen, love etc... i think you love that kind of movie or you hate it cause it's really unconventional and original but certainly not a bad hollywood pop corn movie!!!! franck
dbdumonteil "In extremis" takes a very interesting subject,then completely botches the job.A brother,Thomas, and a sister,Anne, lost their parents some years back.They never overcame the tragedy .After his partner's death,Thomas would like to adopt her son,Grégoire.But the society does not agree :Thomas is an unstable bisexual guy who hangs around the gay nightclubs,and Anne is nothing but a whore;besides,they have incestuous relations.With its "cultural" hints,its sometimes inaudible lines and its turgid music,the movie fails totally to convince .Enough is enough.The scene when Grégoire attends an orgy is not even shocking:it's downright implausible.The director obviously wanted to make a daring work whereas the subject demanded simplicity and true emotion.We would like to side with Thomas and Anne and it's almost impossible .
