The Man I Love

Set in New York in the late 1980s, The Man I Love follows Jimmy, a theater artist whose life is shaped by illness as he confronts his own mortality. Against that backdrop, a story about love and beauty unfolds, centering on a man who remains capable of desire and connection at a decisive point in his life. The film is a drama with romantic elements, made in the United States and France.

Ira Sachs directs from a screenplay he wrote with Mauricio Zacharias. The film is the sixth Sachs has directed, following Married Life (2008), Love Is Strange (2014), Little Men (2016), Passages (2023) and Peter Hujar's Day (2025). Rami Malek plays Jimmy, with Rebecca Hall as Brenda, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Gene, Tom Sturridge as Dennis, Luther Ford as Vincent and Maisy Stella as Leslie. Scott McGehee, David Siegel and Mike Spreter produced, and the production companies are SBS Productions, Big Creek Projects, Assemble Media and Merino Films.

The Man I Love runs 95 minutes and is scheduled for release on January 27, 2027.
