Description

Driven by a kinetic soundtrack, indelible production design and all-star supporting cast, this French blockbuster hit pays homage to the US independent film wave of the 1980s and early 1990s.

The phenomenal Adèle Exarchopoulos and François Civil – arguably French cinema’s brightest young talents – devour the screen in Gilles Lellouche’s vibrant, genre-spanning romantic epic that follows a written-in-the-stars infatuation tested by social boundaries, betrayal and circumstances beyond all control.

Synopsis

Love makes one crazy. Just ask Clotaire (Civil) and Jackie (Exarchopoulos), who meet in their teens in their Northern France working-class neighbourhood in the 1980s. Despite their differences – she is a diligent student from the middle class, he a charming troublemaker with a complex family life – an intense and unmistakable connection is sparked. But tragedy soon pulls them apart.

A decade later, Clotaire tries desperately to win back his lost love. Has his chance passed?
