Sidesplittingly hilarious and packed with relentless, rapid-fire wit, Jim Queen is a neon-soaked, high-camp odyssey through a terrifying new apocalypse: a virus that turns queer people straight.
Jim Parfait, a glorious, larger-than-life gay icon and influencer, is faced with the ultimate nightmare when the bizarre “Heterosis” virus sweeps through Paris. Terrified by the prospect of losing his pristine 24-pack abs and suddenly developing a desire to watch football and engage in heterosexual romance, Jim must embark on a desperate quest to find a cure. His only ally is Lucien, a shy, soft-spoken twink thrust into the role of sidekick. Together, this unlikely duo navigates a perilous, glittering wasteland, forging alliances with eclectic factions of the LGBTIQ+ spectrum, from bears and leather puppies to the city’s BDSM overlord whose own cure for Heterosis involves a dildo-filled iron maiden.
Direct from its Cannes premiere, Jim Queen brilliantly weaponises queer iconography into a high-stakes survival journey. This subversively clever satire is as unapologetically sexy, quirky, and funky as it is destined for cult-classic status, driven by a pumping disco soundtrack and rendered in jaw-dropping, vibrant animation.
