The Wounded Man () is a 1983 French erotic drama film directed by Patrice Chéreau, and written by him and Hervé Guibert. It stars Jean-Hugues Anglade and Vittorio Mezzogiorno. It won the César Award for Best Original Screenplay, and was entered in the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.
The film was initially inspired by Jean Genet's autobiographical novel The Thief's Journal, but kept only the basic idea of a gay relationship with an age gap.
Henri, a young and timid gay man, lives with his parents in their cramped flat. He hangs around the train station, a popular cruising ground. He meets Jean, a rough trade hustler about a decade older, and becomes fascinated with him.
