Indie cinema champion MK2 Films (“Sentimental Value”) has boarded Ira Sachs‘ “The Man I Love,” one of the hotly anticipated movies set to world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and the sole American feature which is currently slated to compete for a Palme d’Or.

Starring Oscar winner Rami Malek, “The Man I Love” is set in the vibrant era of late ’80s New York and tells the story of Jimmy George, an actor dying of AIDS, who takes on what may be his last great role. Filled with music, color and passion, the drama paints a picture of a group of artists and friends for whom creativity has become a form of survival. Sachs and longtime collaborator Mauricio Zacharias co-wrote the script.
