Marais

Best known for such films as My Own Private Idaho and Good Will Hunting, director Gus Van Sant contributed this short film to the anthology Paris, Je T'Aime. It concerns a young gay man who senses an immediate soul-to-soul connection with a boy he encounters in a Parisian picture-framing shop -- but doesn't recognize a certain irony about the lad that constitutes a barrier between them. Le Marais also features a cameo by singer Marianne Faithful.
