Jim Queen

Description

The life of the queer fitness influencer Jim goes off the rails when heterosis spreads in Paris – a mysterious virus that makes gay men straight. While the millions of followers of the gay dream prince disappear overnight, he is left isolated – until Lucien, a young fan who has not yet come out, becomes his only ally. Together, the two embark on a quest for a cure, not only to save Jim but to prevent the entire community from extinction... What follows is a lively, surreal, and very funny road trip through identity, fame, and queer culture. This lovable, original, and hilarious crowd-pleaser was by far the funniest film at Cannes 2026. Festival director Thierry Fremaux described it in Variety as "one of the most beautiful screenings in the history of the festival." Press reviews: "With its electrifying soundtrack, delightfully self-ironic humor, and skillful execution of its imaginative animation style, JIM QUEEN has everything that makes an animated cult classic." Roger Ebert
