The Unvarnished Truth of "The Man I Love" Ira Sachs' latest film, "The Man I Love," has been hailed as a poignant exploration of queer life during the height of the AIDS crisis in 1980s New York.
However, what's being overlooked in the praise is the harsh reality that this era is already slipping into memory.
Sachs himself admits to having drawn from his own experiences as a young artist starting out in theater and film at the time.
