The new film “Passages” is centered on Tomas, a German living in France with his English husband Martin who begins an affair with a French woman, Agathe.
Like many directors before him, Tomas carries these expectations with him into his real life and relationships. At the wrap party, Martin doesn’t feel like dancing with Tomas, but Agathe, fresh out of her own relationship does. Later that night, they end up in bed and Tomas bikes home the next day to tell his husband how exciting it was to sleep with a woman.
But even the most enlightened of young people still have feelings that can get hurt, despite their intellectual rejection of traditional social mores. Later in the film, Tomas sits down for an excruciatingly awkward dinner with Agathe’s parents who ask him about his intentions with their daughter and his plans.
The trio of actors are wonderfully chaotic and all empathetic in their own way. But Whishaw is particularly excellent as one of the poor souls swept up in Tomas’ cyclone. Martin is on his own journey of discovery, learning for himself what he’s willing to tolerate in the name of love and when too much is just too much. Agathe is a bit more underdrawn which can be frustrating — she’s sometimes more object and foil than actual character.
