L’Amour ouf<\/em>, Gilles Lellouche’s new film starring Ad\u00e8le Exarchopoulos and Fran\u00e7ois Civil, is in theaters now. The editorial team loved this unclassifiable film and its violent love story. Go for it, you won’t regret it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In his new film, L’Amour Ouf<\/em>, Gilles Lellouche takes us back to the 80s, to the heart of northern France. Jackie and Clotaire, two teenagers from different backgrounds, meet at school and on the docks. Their love quickly blossoms, uniting two souls at odds with the world around them. Despite the obstacles life throws in their path, their passion remains unbroken. This captivating story resonates with those who experienced the struggles of youth, and Lellouche has captured the essence of that era. <\/p>\n\n

A project matured with patience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Lellouche had Neville Thompson’s book in his hands 17 years ago. But he took time to adapt it. According to Lellouche, that time helped him refine his approach. “I wasn’t ready; I had to go through a number of stages before tackling this very ambitious project. And what takes the longest is the writing. I’m a very slow person in that respect”,<\/em> he confides. This long process also enabled him to invent scenes and situations that enriched the original work. The director refers to a strong personal connection with the story: “This love story resonated with periods of my adolescence and young adulthood. I’ve always been attracted by stories of thwarted love, by the class struggle that emanates from loving someone who, a priori, isn’t right for you.”<\/em> <\/p>\n\n
