Next Tuesday January 18 at 8pm in the Dean Crowe Theatre, Athlone Film Club commences its new season on a humorous note with the fantastic French comedy, Heartbreakers.
This irresistible high-concept romantic comedy directed by Pascal Chaumeil, stars some of France’s most acclaimed stars, Romain Duris, Julie Ferrier, and César Award winner Vanessa Paradis.
The heartbreakers in the title refers to a budding young business run by Alex (Duris ) and his sister (Ferrier ). They break hearts for a living. More specifically they are hired to split up couples who don’t realise that they’re just not meant for one another. Who hires them? Concerned friends or over-protective family members keep them in business. But the handsome and charming Alex and his team have met the toughest couple yet, and their undefeated record - not to mention a huge payday - hangs in the balance.
The mark is Juliette (Paradis ), a happily engaged no-nonsense woman about to be hitched to the perfect guy. With their schemes having little effect on the impenetrable Juliette, the clock is ticking to her wedding day…
Shot in the glamour and whimsy of Monte Carlo, this charming and unique romantic comedy will have audiences buckling with laughter. Chaumeil beautifully illustrates that love and laughter are the best universal language.
