Inner Jellyfishes (French: Les Méduses) is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Marc-Antoine Lemire and released in 2015.[1] The film stars Rudi Duperré as a young gay man struggling with feelings of isolation who hooks up with another man (Samuel Brassard) for sex, but finds that the encounter intensifies rather than assuaging his loneliness as he experiences a desire for a deeper emotional connection than the hookup is willing or able to offer.[2]
The film's screenings included the 2015
chemsex, with the website The Conversation praising it as one of the only films in the program that did not moralize the practice.[4]
