At Cannes, Oscar winner Rami Malek explained why he hesitated to star in Ira Sachs' gay drama 'The Man I Love' after portraying Freddie Mercury.

Rami Malek plays a performance artist who has AIDS in Ira Sachs's delicate and touching '80s character study.

Tom Sturridge, Rebecca Hall, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and newcomer Luther Ford also star in this acutely felt memento mori set during the height of the AIDS crisis.
