Breve biografia: Cyril Collard (19 December 1957, Paris − 5 March 1993) was a French author, filmmaker, composer, musician and actor. He is known for his unapologetic portrayals of bisexuality and HIV in art, particularly his autobiographical novel and film Les Nuits Fauves (Savage Nights). Openly bisexual, Collard was also one of the first French artists to speak openly about his HIV-positive status.
Collard was born into a liberal, middle-class family in France. He attended Lycée Hoche in Versailles, and pursued an engineering degree at Institut Industriel du Nord in Villeneuve d'Ascq, later known as École centrale de Lille before deciding to drop out.
Early in his career, Collard assisted fellow director Maurice Pialat and directed six music videos, as well as several television programs. Among the music videos he directed were those of French-Algerian band Carte de Séjour, whose lead singer Rachid Taha is one of the most famous rock-ethnic musicians in France today.
Collard's own experiences with AIDS undoubtedly influenced his work. He died of AIDS-related illness aged 35.

Las noches salvajes di Cyril Collard

El protagonista tiene 30 años y le gustan los chicos, en particular Samy, un poco golfo, y Jamel, «hijo del Islam y de la Coca-Cola». Pero también están todos esos cuerpos anónimos que se apoderan de él durante los perversos ritos de las noches salvajes. Además, como quien no quiere la cosa, también le gustan algunas chicas. Sobre todo Laura. Parece quererlo todo. O tal vez no quiera nada. Es seropositivo. Por cobardía o miedo de perder a Laura, no se lo dice la primera vez que se acuestan. Puede haberla contagiado. Pero ella tiene 17 años y lo ama con locura ; ya no pone límites a su amor y, pese al mal que ya debe de habitar su cuerpo, recurre a todos los medios para no perderle : ruegos, violencia, mentiras, chantajes. Se toman y se dejan con una pasión compulsiva, al mismo ritmo frenético con que esos jóvenes condenados a muerte circulan en moto, copulan en la sombra debajo de los puentes, se someten a brutales rituales, se drogan, beben y escuchan música hasta reventar, se entregan al sexo con la energía de la desesperación, del que no tiene nada que perder y sí algo que ganar mientras un soplo de vida se lo permita.… (altro)
