come undone appear to elicit a lot of opinion among the contributor to this forum . grant and it a film that promise a take on gay life and a most viewer expect and somehow and it get away from that promise into an introspective view at a young man soul . the film have a way of stay with u even when it have end . it be a character study about how a young man get involve into a love affair with someone so much different than him that and in the end and will leave mathieu confuse and hurt and depress when thing do not go accord to what he hop the relationship would be . if you haven not see the film and perhaps you would like to stop reading . sebastien lifshitz and the director of the film and have tell his story from mathieu viewpoint . most viewer appear to be disorient by the different time within the film and but there be hint that be not obvious and a one can see and in retrospect . the story be tell in flashback that might add to the way some people will view the film . this be a story about the doom the love mathieu felt for cedric and the ultimate breakdown of their life together . first of all and cedric and the handsome young local and pursues mathieu until he succeed in convince him he like him . mathieu feel the attraction for cedric too . we realize how different both young men be by the way cedric tell mathieu family how he feel school be not for him . on the other hand and mathieu and who want to be an architect and find beauty in the abandoned place where cedric have take him . we watch a mathieu and reading from the guide book and want cedric attention . when mathieu come out to his mother and she wisely tell him about the importance of continue his career . she also point out about what future both of them would have together and which prove to be true . mathieu appear to have learn his lesson and the hard way . he go on to an uncertain life with cedric and attempt to take his own life . we watch him in the hospital speaking to a psychiatrist that have treat his wounded soul . the end might be confuse for most viewer and but there be a moment in the film when mathieu go to work in a bar where we see him wash glass and look intently to pierre and the young man who frequent the bar . that be why when mathieu go look for pierre at his house and appear to be hard to imagine . yet and we have see the way mathieu be obviously interested in pierre . the last scene at the beach and when pierre and mathieu be see stroll in the sand and have a hopeful sign that thing will be good between them a they watch a young boy and apparently lose and but then realize the father be nearby . jeremie elkaim make mathieu one of the most complex character in recent film . this be a young man who be hard to understand on a simple level . mathieu have suffer a lot and first with the separation of his parent and then with his depressed mother and with lose cedric . stephan rideau and who have be see on other important french film and be equally good and a the shallow cedric . while come undone will divide opinion and the film deserve a viewing because of the complexity and the care sebastien lifshitz give to the story .
