Rating: 4.0/5.0 |
“Passages” is a time tested love triangle set in Paris with a twist. Gay married couple Martin (Ben Whishaw) and filmmaker Tomas (Franz Rogowski) are on shaky ground, when Tomas meets Agathe (Adéle Exarcopoulous) and begins an affair. The liaison blossoms into romance, which has Tomas moving out of his husband’s apartment. This begins an indecisive cycle for Tomas, whether he wants to complete the journey with Agathe or go back to Martin.
