Would love to see it! According to Amazon, the DVD will be released on Feb 19

 

I found the following review. This review seems to be a bit 'harsh'. Calling a guy in his mid-30s an aged prostitute? hmmm

 

"Johns get a little more than the petite mort they ordered from an aging hustler in "Our Paradise," from wildly uneven Gallic actor-turned-director Gael Morel ("Three Dancing Slaves," "Apres lui"). Plodding drama about a murderous rentboy past his prime doesn't seem to have more than one thing at a time on the brain, and often not even that; it's never clear, for example, whether the man's much-lamented advanced age -- we're talking mid-30s -- is somehow related to his violent compulsions. Promise of a subtitled sexy time should nonetheless put some butts in seats at queer fests.

Colleagues tell the not-unattractive, in-search-of-work Vassili (Morel regular Stephane Rideau) that they have clients younger than he is. A professional collaboration with a young, angelic co-worker (Dimitri Durdaine) only sometimes does the trick and becomes more complicated when the two fall in love. Nonsensical subplots, involving not only murder but also a fag-hag acquaintance (Beatrice Dalle) and her kid son (Mathis Morisset), further dilute interest, though frequent full frontals might keep not-too-demanding auds hooked. "My Own Private Idaho," this isn't, however, with the just-average tech package delivering neither the grit nor the lyricism intended."

I thought it was great. But it is VERY dark. It's sort of fun to see how Stephane Rideau has aged. I remember all of his early films like The Wild Reeds when he was just a kid. Now all these years later he's a man. The kid who plays his protege is very hot in a French twink sort of way. It's nice to see the team of Gael Morel and Rideau back again though. If you've seen his earlier work it's definitely worth checking out.

 

That sounds like a Variety review. They typically are very blunt.
