presque rien be a beautifully observed portrait of the experience of a young french homosexual . eschew both stereotype and preaching and it a wonderfully naturalistic film and superbly act and shot with a feel for the seaside town where the action take place and never melodramatic but often painfully real . if anything it almost too realistic and a there little in the way of conventional plot and just scene from a life . but the absence of conventional dramatic tension count for less than it might in a world so subtly draw . presque rien might not be the most exciting film ever make while but it simple humanism serve it well compare with the pre conceive celebratory or bigoted viewpoint that often mar treatment of this theme . worth a watch .
