Passages (2023)

Acclaimed director Ira Sachs (Love is Strange, Little Men) brings us the intriguing relationship drama Passages (2023) which tells the story of a wrinkle in the relationship between gay lovers Tomas (Franz Rogowski) and Martin (Ben Whishaw) living in Paris. Though Tomas has been committed to Martin up until now, he's also been repressing his bisexual urges to hook up with women, but that all changes when he meets Agathe (Adèle Exarchopoulos) at a club. Naturally his attempts to keep the affair secret from Martin will eventually collapse, but Tomas is seemingly bound and determined to hurt one of his lovers, despite the fact that he may end up losing them both! While this sexually fluid love story is an extremely well made homage to the French New Wave, it's sadly devoid of any female nudity, despite starring Blue is the Warmest Color's Adèle Exarchopoulos! She keeps her bra on for a sex scene with Rogowski 17 minutes in and later keeps her pajama top on while he fingers her in bed.
