‘The Man I Love’ Review: Rami Malek Is a Revelation in Ira Sachs’ Achingly Observed Portrait of Art, Love, Desire and Mortality in 1980s New York City Ira Sachs has been on an incredible career roll lately, with three consecutive features digging into the complex inner lives of gay men in distinctive ways, reaffirming the director’s position among the preeminent movie chroniclers of queer experience. Whether or not it’s intended, those three entries could be considered an unofficial trilogy. Sachs’ emotionally charged latest, The Man I Love, revolves around an unapologetically narcissistic lead character not unlike the Franz Rogowski role in 2023’s Passages and shares a fascination with bringing verbatim texts to life with last year’s Peter Hujar’s Day — in that case as a diaristic literary project, this time as performance art. https://bit.ly/3RoYnzg
