First love, obsessive love, forbidden love, unrequited love, true love: love comes in a thousand forms — and thus in a thousand films. With a programme of twelve French films, we celebrate (and question) love in all its manifestations. Because France is the country of love. Right?
From sultry summer films to works that explore the destructive shadow sides of love. And from classics by established filmmakers such as Claude Chabrol and François Truffaut to films by contemporary directors such as Justine Triet and Vanessa Filho: it is l’été de l’amour.
ZomerCinema: AMOUR is realized with the support of Institut français NL and the IF-cinéma programme.
