“The best film Gregg Araki never made.” – Fabien, Mubi
Quebecois filmmaker Denys Arcand’s first English-language film takes on mid-30s malaise in an unnamed Canadian metropolis. David would rather serve tables and engage in various trysts with club guys than continue pursuing a mediocre television acting career. His roommate/ex-girlfriend Candy, an in-denial-bisexual with an angsty book column and a dwindling patience for the world outside their apartment, thinks David may be her soul mate but hardly cares enough to try again. These two depressed friends stumble through simultaneous romantic pursuits that get progressively more complicated in a city full of end-time-coded freaks (I.E. Mia Kirshner with a whip). But, something ancient and evil resides in the heart of the film’s banality, finally surfacing in the investigation of a serial killer on the loose. Haunted by the height of the AIDS epidemic, LOVE AND HUMAN REMAINS is one of the great underseen Homo Pomo flicks of the 90’s that demands fresh eyes from fans of Gregg Araki and the like.
