This is an emotional film!
It is dark and sordid but really could not be portrayed fittingly in any other way. The acting is absolutely phenomenal. Roy Dupuis not only takes the show but forcefully steals it so that you begin to wonder if he isn't the only actor in the movie. The cinematography is also well done with flashbacks and subtle switching between color and black & white. It was a little difficult to follow at first because it is English sub-titled and the actors are speaking extremely fast. The passion however, is unmistakable and I truly felt that this was an actual event happening before my eyes as opposed to a film script. I was pulled into the emotional contradiction and inner wrestling that the character Yves was feeling and could almost taste the pain. If this is Roy Dupuis' first movie debut, we are in for a wild, wild ride! This actor obviously loves his art.

intriguing
For fans of Roy Dupuis, this film is a must - he shows incredible range and gives an emotional and heartfelt performance. The subject matter is very adult, but except for the crucial first five minutes of the movie, there are no other sex scenes. The movie is more cerebral and relies heavily on conversations, mostly Dupuis' monologues in interrogation after his confession to murder - this is not an action packed movie. The cinematography is really stellar, as well as the use of black and white for the past sequences. I would highly recommend this movie - I did not give it five stars, however, because there is a little something that the movie seems to be missing that would make it a great movie. If you are interested in a movie with similar themes (homosexuality, identity crises) I would highly recommend The Buddha of Suburbia, which is an excellent, well made movie, and to which I would give 5 stars

Being At Home With Claude
Fans of "La Femme Nikita" finally get to see Roy Dupuis emote in this chamber drama. Dupuis plays Yves, a tortured prostitute, who has murdered his lover. The film plays out as a police interrogation, the detective slowing drawing out the harrowing details from Yves.

If you are looking for a police drama with lots of action, this is not the movie for you. If you appreciate intricate character studies, then "Being At Home With Claude" delivers.

Dupuis owns this movie through and through. The film is Yves's confession and largely takes place in one room with just the police detective. In such a restricted setting, Dupuis holds our attention with his ability to convey a variety of different emotions: guilt, anger, love, frustration. His ability to make us care about his character, to feel some sort of empathy, is what makes this excellent film so captivating.

Yummy Roy at his best!
I watched this video today. I was alittle annoyed by the english subtitles but couldn't keep my eyes off of the beautiful speciman of a man! Roy is delicious!He looked so good! I felt it really showed what a great actor he could be! If you like Roy you will put up with the subtitles!It's worth reading them!

WELL...I USED TO LOVE HIM..BUT I HAD TO KILL HIM...
Very dark side of of the gay genre, but certainly not unbelievable.( since the opening scene is the murder of one of the actors, this should not give the plot away) as most of the movie is about,"why yves did it". I'm sure this is not the first film about killing the one you love... and It will not be the last. Mr. GoodBar comes to mind, but he was just a nut out to get his jollies at the right moment.

As Yves tells the inspector,'you cannot explain it in words, it doesn't work, the feelings cannot be described as one thinks them'.
You have to draw on your imagination to get to the agonizing and hopelessness of Yves demented love for claude.

We do not get to have a deeper evaluation of Claude's psyche. P>Halfway decent gay themed movies are hard to find, and I cannot imagine what Hollywood would have done with this flick, but, if you can take the heavy darkness of this movie it will leave you thinking, about the obsessions of love and how it can deform your psyche. Actually the only thing that really bothered me about this movie, was the title.

Good Story
Don't be fooled by other comments. This video is old, but it says that at the top where it clearly reads this was produced in 1992. All of the footage is before Lemieux won his first cup, but some very interesting footage from junior hockey which clearly shows how good he was and was dominating some of the other kids in the league. It goes very in-depth into the classic Canada Cup in which Canada defeated the Soviet Union in 3 games. Not for everyone, but if you are a true hockey and Mario Lemieux fan, than this is pretty good.

don't be fooled; this is a very old video
I am a real hockey fan and after buying the great video "Wayne Gretzky - above and beyond" I thought that the Maria Lemieux story would be a similar video: the highlights of a miracle hockey carreer. Well, big disappointments are coming your way when you buy this video. It is all ancient stuff, Mario had not even won his first Stanley Cup when this video was shot. Look at it as a video about Mohammed Ali, which stops just before he wins his Olympic medal. But when you are into antiques, well, this is the video you want. ... Read more
