Winner of four France’s Cesar Awards including Best Film Of The Year, SAVAGE NIGHTS is an unflinching, even shocking portrait of reckless youth in the age of AIDS. Based on the acclaimed autobiographical novel by Cyril Collard and a sensation in Europe, Collard directs and stars in this unusual love story of a man who refuses to let the virus dictate his life but instead lives at mind-numbing speed and with total abandonment.
