The Man I Love Movie Review 1997

Heart-on-its-sleeve romance originally made for French TV. Martin (Di Fonzo Bo) is hired to work at a Marseilles municipal swimming pool and falls immediately for golden boy lifeguard Lucas (Portal), who has a live-in girlfriend, Lise (Seigner). Lise thinks Lucas's new buddy is lots of fun--never suspecting that exuberant Martin is after the hunk. Of course, Lucas isn't as straight as he seems and eventually switches partners. But there's another problem, Martin, who's HIV-positive, decides to take a break from his onerous treatment, despite the consequences. French with subtitles.
