This long-lost masterpiece of hardcore gay erotic cinema centers on a handsome young stud who rides his motorcycle through myriad sexual encounters, from a soccer game’s locker room to a phantasmagoric and deeply melancholy orgy. A labyrinth of all-male fantasies whose outstanding beauties always end up fading away while leaving their sensual protagonist dealing with his own loneliness, EQUATION was directed with supreme grace by the mysterious Dietrich de Velsa (aka Francis Savel/Frantz Salieri). A former painter, de Velsa was also the owner and artistic director of La Grande Eugène, one of the first drag cabarets in Paris. Years later, he collaborated with Joseph Losey on MR. KLEIN (1976) and DON GIOVANNI (1979). His one and only film, EQUATION TO AN UNKNOWN stands as one of the most extraordinary erotic films of all time.                                                                    “The most melancholic porn film I’ve ever seen. It’s very sad, and aesthetically beautiful. Just a young man wandering through several depictions of love and choreographies of love-making; it’s like a ceremony, a ceremony of fantasies, especially the last sequence where the main character recalls all his previous fantasies, which come one by one around his bed and make love to him. I think it’s one of the most beautiful film sequences of French cinema.” –Yann Gonzalez

芒果影评：就是最好的演员，没有之一。敢接这个剧本敢演这些角色，本身就有一份巨大的魄力，眼光和格局都太超前了。而且，还把这个角色的分寸感拿捏得刚刚好。

B站影评：最期待的新片，没让我失望。演员们的表现非常亮眼，后半段的反转极其抓人眼球，他们的迷茫、痛苦与挣扎仿佛都如此感同身受，这真实而又复杂的角色太值得回味了。

优酷影评：最精彩的当数动作设计，拳拳到肉的动作、具备冲击力视觉的呈现，成为电影的最大亮点。而动作在符合既定人体动能原理的基础上又充满想象力，堪称惊艳。 此外，角色和动作设计的有效结合也是又一大亮点，真人热血番的打斗和极具创新的人物设定相辅相成，更让电影具备了别样的气质，中二热血的少年感、漫感的打斗风格同样符合当下年轻人的审美标准。

猫眼影评：很有调调的电影，不能被轻易定义。 女演员以其独特的个人魅力，让这部电影从内容上得以成立，如果以重要性占比来说，至少是在七成以上。

豆瓣影评：一部绵柔、温润的电影，有着在剧情片系中不曾见过的现实主义影像观。从容、克制的影像，又不乏充满直觉性的摄取。摄影机始终以平等的姿态贴近、注视人物。深情、质朴已是本片最大的美德。
