Louis Garrel’s second feature is a very Parisian story about a completely dysfunctional love triangle and a possible murder, starring Laetitia Casta, Lily-Rose Depp, and Garrel himself.
Abel (Louis Garrel) is a journalist torn between two women: he lives with Marianne (Laetitia Casta), who once cheated on him with his best friend Paul, and sleeps with Paul’s young sister Eva (Lily-Rose Depp). The complicated situation unfolds into a series of absurd and dramatic events with one of the characters possibly involved in a crime.
Ironic about his now habitual role of a modern lover, Garrel has created a true Truffaut-inspired Parisian story about the vicissitudes of love, masterfully scripted by Jean-Claude Carrière who had worked for Louis Bunuel. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018.
