Sex, emotion and realism pushed to the extreme. A 1998 vision of "Minets Sauvages". It's hard to live in a hot city when you love boys! His older, bisexual brother is an enemy, his parents a threat; neighbours, stairs, cellars, car parks, a daily trap where the law of nature rules. Difficulties to assume his difference, rapes, dominations, and sometimes tenderness are a part of life. Regularly harassed, he runs away and takes refuge with a lover who cynically makes use of his distress and demands a "right of entry". He doesn't stay for long. Rodolphe gets in the way and is thrown out. Back at his parents' many conflicts await him.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical. Once again, we plunge into the cutthroat world of Runway, where to get and stay at the top, you must let go of your principles and moral sense. The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.
