I am thinking of Presque Rien (studenty bloke has failed suicide attempt and thinks back to holiday gay romance that lead him to it), Le Clan (hot brothers have various types of angst), Wild Side (pre op tranny brings her two boyfriends to help look after her sick mum) etc. They are all quite slow and elliptical but worth watching

Le Clan was pretty ridiculous in the amount of nudity in it, not that I was complaining. Agree that Full Speed was pretty meh
Presque Rien is probably the best of the ones I mentioned and also stars that same actor (Stephane Rideaux?).

A quick look at wikipedia and Stephane Rideau appears to be straight (he has a girlfriend and a kid at any rate)

Fair enough, that is why I didn't want to recommend any "coming out fairy tales". I thought Shortbus had a lot of "arty qualities" though, even if it wasn't an art film per se. As for total art films, Beau travail is still essential if you haven't seen it.

HellBent and Hard are pretty arty, as slasher films go.
