Gay men cruising in the woods

While hanging out, he and his various friends and acquaintances sunbathe and swim in the nude, though one character admits it's technically illegal, and there is apparently a more 'family-friendly' beach on the other side of the lake where one man says you can meet women. Being a French (European) film, there is copious amounts of full-frontal male nudity, but it's handled within the context of the story: young gay man hangs out at a beach on a mountain lake - a well-known (in the stort) hangout and cruising spot for gay men - I'm assuming it's also a public park - where he meets a handsome stranger who may or may not be a murderer.

While I was indifferent to the explicit sex and nudity, and for all its hype, this is not porn: there is no actual anal penetration shown (though admittedly if the actors were actually engaged in real sex, it's still shot like a simulation), one shot of actual fellatio, and a brief shot (no pun intended) of an ejaculation. Heard about this film and was intrigued by the premise, plus I like Hitchcockian-style thrillers.
