Don't Forget You're Going to Die (1996)

In a world neatly designed by his own blueprint, Benoit, portrayed by Xavier Beauvois, finds his perfectly planned life starkly interrupted by an overlooked detail - compulsory military service. Desperate to escape the clutches of duty, he plunges into a labyrinth of possibilities, seeking refuge in the sterile sanctum of a psychiatrist's office. The psychiatrist offers him a prescription for depression, but to no avail, leading Benoit to flirt with the chilling embrace of suicide. Just as he teeters on the precipice of despair, his life takes another catastrophic twist. A military doctor delivers the harrowing news of his HIV positive status, catapulting him into the shadowy underworld of drugs, as he grapples with his grim reality. Escaping to the sun-drenched landscapes of Italy, he crosses paths with the enigmatic Claudia, embodied by Chiara Mastroianni. In her company, he experiences a fleeting taste of hope and solace. Yet, as the plot unfurls, it becomes painfully clear that this respite may be nothing more than a temporary reprieve in Benoit's tumultuous life journey. "Don't Forget You're Going to Die" is a heart-rending exploration of a man caught in a relentless storm of fate, desperately seeking a safe harbor in the chaotic seas of life.
