‘Man At Bath’ Starring Francois Sagat Now Out on DVD

Christopher Honoré’s 2010 film Man At Bath (Homme Au Bain), starring porn legend Francois Sagat as (guess what) a hooker, is finally back on DVD and being distributed by TLA Releasing’s new label Canteen Outlaws.

The movie follows sexy hustler Emmanuel (Sagat) and Omar (played by Omar Ben Sellem), a gay couple living in a shitty apartment in France, after they have a fight, and Omar decides to flee to New York. The two men then go about trying to convince themselves that they aren’t in love with each other by having flings with other people.

This was Sagat’s second serious film role, and his most recent one to date, after Bruce LaBruce’s L.A. Zombie, also from 2010, and way more fucked up.

And once again the film was a chance for Sagat to prove that he’s not just a pair of tits and can really act with the best of the hooker-actors. His performance was called “substantive” by Indiewire, and Gayletter says that Sagat is “formidable” in the film, and “what makes this role more surprising is the emotional depths Sagat is capable of conveying in one hard, expressionless look, the understanding that this man has experienced things that we can’t begin to fathom.”

And it’s French, so, there’s no happy ending — SPOILER: they don’t get back together. But they do learn something about themselves, or something.

  1. Robert Chandler,

    What do you expect, man? I 200% agree with you, but at the same time….. I know better than to come to these sites for anything except for the bitchy fucking trash-spewin’.

    Ugh.

  2. “Hooker-actors?”
    Why the need to slut-shame someone? The guy has done porn and now he’s doing a movie. Does that make him less than any other actor in any other movie? Are you better than him because you write articles for a porn blog? Would you like all your future work to be discussed mockingly and dismissed because you worked for this site? I don’t mean to be overly-sensitive. I get humor. But it really wasn’t funny and it’s exteremly sex-nagative.

    Francois Sagat, Brent Corrigan and Johnny Hazzard are actors. You don’t have to love their work, but they are actors. If someone had worked at a restaurant and then got a job in a movie, you wouldn’t call them waiter-actors. Why do we want to tear down people in our own community?

    I wish Adam Baran had written this. He doesn’t seem to equate sexuality with shame this way.

  3. He seems like such a narcissist. His last film was just him dancing in front of a mirror feeling himself up while wearing a clown mask.
