Bicho and I go to the movies: 120 beats per minute

"Bicho and I felt challenged by the film. It addresses the issue without resorting to cheap tricks and with excellent narrative and visual precision. We celebrate the progress, but there are also situations that still resonate very similarly today. Too similar to a past we're not going back to."

Bicho and I went to the movies. They saw 120 Beats Per Minute, the French film where the Argentine actor Nahuel Pérez Biscayart plays a young man with HIV in 1990s France. It tells the story of the struggle of the organization ACT UP to get a response from the government and pharmaceutical companies.
