European filmmakers have generally taken critical attitudes towards U.S. ones, resulting in hundreds of "intellectual" and sophisticated creations with slow pace and profound dead times... However, to avoid repetitions, new angles and topics are cast about, any means would do, including gay romance... Moreover, a real feature film should last for about 1.5 hours, so you need to find some filling not too far from the main theme...
In general, Presque rien meets the characteristics listed above, and the result is a mediocre, protracted not-too-erotic film about two 18- 19-year-olds, performed by males aged around 25 (not poorly, but still their looks and maturity betrays them), with several unnecessary scenes and characters, and using flashbacks into recent past, difficult to follow and comprehend. For me, a French film about forbidden love and affection should be more sizzling, more passionate, this is like Made in Scandinavia, but the latter's scripts tend to be better, meatier.
Unless you must and/or have plenty of time, find some other related film.
