Before I Forget - Avant Que J’Oublie

At 58 and diagnosed with HIV, Pierre is a prisoner of his past. His life seems to be slipping through his fingers, in between meetings with his psychiatrist, one-night stands and fruitless attempts at writing. Will Pierre muster the courage to realize his dreams before he sinks into oblivion? In his most autobiographical film to date, Jacques Nolot records his hero’s agonizing breakdown in a moving comédie humaine. Before I forget opened at the Directors’ Fortnight at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
