WATCH: Ben Whishaw’s in a love triangle in one of the summer’s sexiest movies
Passages?The new drama from gay filmmaker Ira Sachs (Keep The Lights On, Love Is Strange) is about one steamy, sexy love triangle that’ll have you parched—and it was one of the best movies we saw earlier this year at Sundance.Passages opens just as young director Tomas (Franz Rogowski) is wrapping up his latest feature, celebrating at a wrap party with his crew and his partner, Martin (out actor Ben Whishaw), a print artist.The pair have been together for 15 years and have some sort of open relationship, so when Martin decides to leave the party early, it’s not exactly a surprise when Tomas finds someone else to cozy up to.
But, this time, it’s a woman.Agathe (Blue Is The Warmest Color‘s Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Tomas have an instant sexual chemistry and wind up spending the night together.
When he tells his partner the next day, we’re to understand it’s not the first time this has happened, but something’s different with Agathe.
Or, perhaps its Tomas and Martin’s relationship that’s changed.From there, Passages follows these relationships as Tomas ping-pongs between two lovers with chaotic queer abandon.
