Jed prepares to interview French cineaste and self-appointed expert on the nature of love - Thierry Grimandi. The worldly and somewhat jaded Jed is dead-set on dismissing the auteur's musings as pompous and, well French, until his own relationship with Cheryl starts to fall apart and he is forced to re-evaluate the illusive subject. Soon everyone is talking about love: his relationship counsellor, drinking buddy Marcus and Marcus' girlfriend Sophie Beginnings, endings, tricks...could the French be on to something?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a witty romantic comedy that relies on the clash between English pragmatism and French romantic theory. It explores how intellectual debates about love inevitably spill into the messy reality of personal relationships.

What lingers after the final scene is a charming suspicion that perhaps dissecting love is just another, quite sincere, form of courtship. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Jackie Oudney
