After Love (I) Cinema Release Date

Boris (Cédric Kahn) and Marie (Bérénice Bejo) are separating after 15 years of marriage — however, cash-strapped Boris is unable to move out of the family home, and disputes ari...

Bérénice Bejo and Cédric Kahn star in a painfully intimate, horribly fascinating drama about the emotional and financial complexities of a separation.

Though contained enough to be a play, Joachim Lafosse's look at an out-of-love couple still forced to cohabitate explores that dynamic cinematically.

As a metaphor, After Love is much weaker than as a straightforward portrait of a modern marriage in crisis.

Joachim Lafosse ('Our Children') returns to Cannes with a family drama starring Berenice Bejo ('The Artist') and actor-director Cedric Kahn ('Roberto Succo').

The film too often puts too much trust in dialogue, as Marie and Boris's predicament is sometimes perfectly conveyed by the actors' facial expressions and body language.

Lafosse’s “After Love” lays bare the economics of breaking up.

Not unlike an expensively tattooed panhandler, the couple elicit only a skeptical kind of sympathy.
