A sweeping romantic drama about love, family and secrets, Along Came Love is the latest film by acclaimed writer/director Katell Quillévéré (Heal the Living, AF FFF17).
Premiering at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, the film spans several decades and is ambitious in both theme and scope, exploring the complex world of a couple shadowed by secrets in post-war puritanical France.
Beginning at the end of World War II, the film charts the relationship between young single mother Madeleine (Anaïs Demoustier, November, AF FFF23) and university student François (Vincent Lacoste, Lost Illusions, AF FFF22).
Drawn to each other despite several warning signs, their life together will be forever haunted by their past actions and hidden desires. Thoughtful, perceptive and emotionally satisfying, this is a refreshingly insightful film about the complicated dynamic between people whose relationship, whilst flawed, is loaded with power and meaning.
