Race d'Ep!

About This Movie

So, 'Race d’Ep!'—it's a real trip down the rabbit hole of queer history. Lionel Soukaz's approach feels raw, almost like a collage of archival footage and personal narratives. It captures the tension and vibrancy of the LGBTQ+ experience in a way that’s both educational and deeply emotional. The pacing has this almost hypnotic quality, keeping you engaged as it oscillates between documentary and drama. The performances, while often improvised, carry a weight that’s hard to shake off. Plus, the provocative title sets the tone right from the start. You get this sense of urgency, a need to reclaim narratives that have been suppressed. It's definitely a unique piece in the landscape of queer cinema.
