This is Vincent Dieutre’s first feature film he directed while writing and teaching at university. An intimate, fragmented, painful, non-chronological journal of a young gay man in Rome at the end of the 1980s, Rome désolée enjoyed critical and popular success to allow Dieutre to continue inventing his cinema in the first person. A period of rehab, syringes, ex lovers, and AIDS: forging an introspective story inscribed into the metaphorical territory of these years of “desolation” and addiction.
