Synopsis

Told in three parts, Patrick Carpentier's "The Irregularity of the tearing" is a three part cine-diary on intimacy, sensuality and desire. Part one, "God is a Dog" (2004) is shot on Super 8 and confronts the film makers remembrances of childhood memories and how they interact with his adult love encounters. Section two, "Les 9 mardis" (The 9 Tuesdays) (2005) deals with the absurdity of the passage of time. Time that reopens and closes past wounds, time the provides the courage to continue. The final installment is "Combat," winner of the 2006 Berlin Teddy Award for best gay film. The tale of two young men both deeply in love who can only express their feelings through acts of physical violence committed upon each other. Full moons and lush forests frame this deeply felt and moving love story between two beautiful, youthful men.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
PANOS there is not a single reason for watching this movie. why to have this experience since nothing is happening for 1 hour and the 2 male characters are running in the woods just fighting and hitting each other?! i couldn't care less if this is art.... the director must wanted to do something only for himself and not for the audience. what are the criteria that this movie won the teddy jury award? Was it the directing? the montage? or the acting of the 2 male actors? for one hour u listen one of them (voice off) telling a story about his lover and how they met. So? the film is based on a book, and i am sure that the power from the book is all lost at the adaption from the big screen.
dertilee I saw this "film" recently at the Athens International Film Festival. Ordinarily i wouldn't mind its tediousness, blurriness, pompous post-dogma style of cheapness mixed with half baked structuralist psychological ravings but... But it has received the prestigious Teddy film award at the Berlin Film Festival and i wonder; What exactly did they have in mind when they gave it to a non-film ? what is so poetic or deep about shaken images looking like they were taken with a mobile phone video camera? Should we all go out and make our own mobile videos? i have a great idea about the Blair witch returning to haunt and spank art video directors.
