Paris 05:59: Théo & Hugo (2016)
Théo et Hugo dans le meme bateau (original title)
Paris 05:59: Théo & Hugo (French: Théo et Hugo dans le meme bateau), also known as Theo and Hugo in some territories, is a 2016 French drama film directed by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau. It was shown in the Panorama section at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival. The film won the Audience Award at the Berlin Festival’s 2016 Teddy Awards.
The film stars Geoffrey Couët and François Nambot as two gay men who meet during the film’s opening 20-minute scene in L’Impact, a gay sex club, and follows them as they get to know each other during the next two hours, biking and walking in northeast Paris, visiting a hospital, riding the subway, and visiting one’s apartment, encountering a woman on the subway and a counter server in a kebab shop. The action of the film begins at 4:27 am and concludes at 5:59 am.
The film was filmed over the course of fifteen days, including nine nights, on a small budget. The original script set the film over the course of 28 days, but was later changed to occur during real-time in the course of 93 minutes in the early morning hours.
The film has references to the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. According to gender studies scholar Todd Reeser, the film transforms the ancient myth to open up new narrative and gender ways of being.
