Beating Hearts
Set in the 1980s in northern France, actor turned director Gilles Lellouche charts an improbable relationship between Jackie (Adèle Exarchopoulos) from an upper-middle-class family and Clotaire (François Civil) from a modest background. They grow up in the same town and attend the same high school. Whilst she is dedicated to her studies, he plays truant and becomes involved in a gang. Their paths cross later in life in adulthood and they fall madly in love.
Lellouche (who previously came to French Film Festival UK with Sink or Swim), returns with “an emotional rollercoaster spanning over 15 years in the lives of star-crossed lovers”, leaving us questioning the nature of love or an amour fou.
Screening as part of French Film Festival UK.
