Eviction | Much more than a loss of housing

This is not a film about the housing crisis. Well yes, but not only. Evictionwhich hits theaters this Friday, mainly tells the story of the loss of a mythical place for a very specific community: the queer community.




“Parthenais”, as his half-dozen happy tenants affectionately called him – and all their friends, allies, visitors and other guests – was a real “anchor point” in Centre-Sud, a landmark or a pole, if you want, for more than 10 years. Until the building was bought and its tenants evicted. And Mathilde Capone (The factory of consent: lesbo-queer perspectives), to whom we owe the realization, knows something about it, since he* gravitated here for a time. And attended his last party (which we obviously see in the film).
