Autopsy
" Moving with the fast pace of an American action film, this French murder mystery throws in a coming-out tale and gay romance to create a very peculiar cinematic treat. Who’s satisfied by a single genre these days anyway? How about this for a set of characters? Eric is a police commander who comes out of his closet (after 20 years in a straight marriage) with a vengeance, ready for new adventures. His cute teenage son Paco has turned into a delinquent and steals cell phones. His wife Anne is confused, humiliated and angry. His boss, who taught him everything, is dying. Emmanuel, his love interest, is a pathologist examining DNA from sperm found in a corpse's bowels. Oh, and there's a lunatic loose in the city and he's cutting up gay men. Looking for a new experience, Eric and a gorgeous female sidekick attempt to track down and arrest the murderous nut-case. But it all becomes a bit too much for him when he attends the autopsy and passes out into the arms of hunky Emmanuel. And why not? We all would as long as we're not on that autopsy table, face up! Packed with non-stop drama, splendid acting work and an amazingly quick tempo throughout, Autopsy is sensational entertainment and one of the most exciting films in QFest 2009! (French with English subtitles)" Quoting Robert Moran from the 2009 QFEST site.
