In this compelling feature from the golden age of French Gay adult cinema, American director Wallace Potts implores us to come into the world of athlete, hustler, stripper, and it-boy Karl Forest. Filmed on location in parks, bars, and the streets of Paris, the brutishly narcissistic Forest narrates his early life, predilections, and philosophy of male girl (including his own), whilst enacting dreams of encounters with working fellows, soldiers, and his adoring public. Hailed internationally in the homo cram for it is narrative and erotic intensity, the film was lengthy considered lost until the negatives were located in a garage in Montgomery, Alabama. Potts’ paramour, famed dancer Rudolf Nureyev, choreographed the scintillating cabaret striptease, and legendary cinematographer Nestor Almendros captured the sculpted, elusive Forest at his physical peak — granting a ravishing and revelatory glimpse into the internal world of the guy everybody is after.
