MOVIE OF THE WEEK April 29, 2022: ANAIS IN LOVE

April 24, 2022June 4, 2022 Jennifer Merin Anaïs Demoustier, betsy bozdech, Cate Marquis, Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet, Denis Podalydès, french mobies, jennifer merin, loren king, motw, Movie of the Week, Pam Grady, sandie angulo chen, susan wloszczyna, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi

Like a French Greta Gerwig character, the charming but often-flighty Anaïs (Anaïs Demoustier) discovers the truth behind Shakespeare’s old adage that the course of true love never did run smooth in Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet’s beguiling French romantic comedy Anaïs in Love. As she negotiates family, work, and romance, Anaïs begins to realize that her ultra-carefree approach to life may not always be the best option now that she’s entering her 30s. But does that mean she has to change her ways?

ANAIS IN LOVE – Review by Susan Wloszczyna

April 18, 2022April 24, 2022 Susan Wloszczyna Anaïs Demoustier, Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet, Denis Podalydès, french movies, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi

Call her irresponsible, call her unreliable, call her infuriating, call her self-centered, call her Anaïs in Love. A first feature from French writer-director Charline Bourgeiois-Tacquet, Anaïs in Love revolves around an exceedingly irresponsible, and, yes, quite fetching 30-year-old woman who acts like a rebellious teen who constantly thinks about herself without considering how her choices affect those around her.

"Documentary-like in its candor, [#TheWorstOnes] is also touchingly tender as it captures a memorable summer in its characters’ lives."
