About This Movie

From Behind is a quirky comedy that mixes a coming-of-age journey with a bit of familial mystery. Frédérique, who inherits a stud farm after her mother's death, seems more like a lost soul trying to find herself than a typical protagonist. Her relationship with her gay friend Marc adds a vibrant layer to the narrative; their escapades in Paris have this delightful, chaotic energy. The film captures the essence of late '90s underground LGBTQ+ nightlife with a candidness that feels both raw and genuine. Performances are spirited, though not always polished, giving it an almost home-video vibe. It's distinctive for its offbeat charm and the way it intertwines personal discovery with the vibrant backdrop of a city filled with life and mischief.

Quirky take on personal discovery.Intriguing mix of comedy and familial themes.Captures '90s LGBTQ+ nightlife authentically.
