In Gus Van Sant’s "Le Marais" from Paris Je T’aime the journey focuses on a miscommunication. The customer is attracted to the print shop worker and begins to tell him how he feels about him in French. Unbeknown to him the print shop worker knows little French. The man is pouring his feelings out to him and what separates them is language. This represents the silence that many homosexuals feel. They lack acceptance and therefore are silenced. This journey affects the outcome of both of these men’s lives.
