Jim Queen

Jim Parfait is the ultimate king, or rather queen of the Parisian gay community. A 20-million plus followers influencer, he spends his days cultivating his 24-pack of abs at the gym, or the temple of gay culture elevation and depravation. On a fine day, one of his abs inexplicably deflates. That is the first symptom of a new disease spreading among gay people: heterosis. With the impending doom of turning straight, Jim Parfait needs to find a cure against the epidemic. Unbeknown to him, Lucien, a reclusive twink who secretly holds a reliquary of Jim Parfait paraphernalia and sex toys, may hold the key to salvation. But first, Lucien has to escape the draconian control of his homophobic Health Minister mother and come out into the shiny, shallow, shameless queendom where Jim reigns.

Unabashedly heterophobic, Marco Nguyen and Nicolas Athané's Jim Queen was the runaway laugh-out- loud hit of the Midnight Screenings at Cannes Film Festival. Delightfully plunging audiences in an ultra-colourful and exuberantly explicit gay fantasia, Jim Queen doesn't refrain from cleverly satirising the obsessions of its target audiences. A wild unicorn ride that shan't be missed!
