BPM (Beats Per Minute)
Director Robin Campillo's new movie is centered around a group of HIV/AIDS activists in early 90s France. When it comes to capturing the spirit of direct-action advocacy groups such as ACT UP on film, I'd typically choose a documentary over a feature film, but I am so eager to see if I feel similarly to the festival audiences and critics who have said that Campillo has created a set of characters who are as compelling as their real-life counterparts. Given the director's track record as a writer, I'm amped for BPM. — Arno
