Francois Sagat To Star In French Art Film, Man in the Bath

A QCommenter tipped us off that our favorite arty gay porn star Francois Sagat will star in French director Christophe Honoré Yagga’s newest new film, Man in the Bath. It’s a 20 to 45-minute short about a gay guy who sluts around after a break-up. It’s also titled after a work by gay impressionist painter Gustave Caillebotte.
We’re happy to hear that Sagat’s finally getting the screen time that someone of his natural insanity deserves. After all, his part as a junkie in Saw VI got whittled down to a measly cameo. Now the porn star’s appearing in a sacrilegious painting and serious art films—nice!
The director said, “What interests me is François Sagat as self-construction of the image of masculinity. It is a pure product of its time. It redefines the concept of masculinity. Francois has a body that does not exist in French cinema. I am not committed to the power of porn, but to the idea that the porn body emerges as a construction.”
Sounds pretty heady. But as long as a movie has men doing the nasty, we’ll watch just about anything… even really crappy films like Eating Out 3.
