| FILM SCHEDULE |
An intensely raw and provocative film, Combat pushes love to its outermost limits. Two attractive young men travel to an isolated forest where they inexplicably begin to beat each other savagely. Director Carpentier’s semi-fictional tale is both compelling and harrowing in its uncompromising equation between pain and desire. It is a visceral and sensual allegory with an intelligence that sets it apart from pure exploitation; instead, it explores the same terrain of primal urges and desires as Jean Genet, the Marquis de Sade, and more recently Dennis Cooper. Showing with Comme un Boomerang (Nicolas Breviere, France, 2005), a story of jealousy and loss that tears a man and his relationship apart. Video, Total: 82 min.
