Équation à un inconnu (Equation to an Unknown)

Film program, FR 1980, 99 min., franz. OV + engl. UT

By: Dietrich de Velsa

The exquisite “Equation to an Unknown” is some of the most gorgeous gay sex ever committed to celluloid. In Francis Savel’s film (directed under the pseudonym Dietrich de Velsa), a handsome young biker rides through France, from sexual encounter to sexual encounter in a state of dreamlike melancholy, climaxing in a sublimely evocative orgy.

Unseen for almost 40 years, it was rediscovered by Yann Gonzalez, the director of French gay erotic thriller “Knife + Heart” (PFFB 2019), who restored and rereleased the masterpiece in 2020. This is a rare chance to see this lost gem on the big screen.
