Salut Victor

Late-in-life romance doesn't feature too often in gay-themed movies, but Canadian filmmaker Anne Claire Poirier puts that to right with this delicate, affecting tear-jerker.  Longtime loner Philippe checks into a stately nursing home, ready to die; but resident rebel Victor incites him to optimism with giddy, delinquent adventures. Victor is gay, and his spirit inspires Philippe to share secrets about his own past. Salut Victor breaks ground with its portrait of older gay men, and wins over audiences with its seductive style.
