The Gallic Blog
Are you ready to get your heart broken?
Romain Duris is Gallic cinema’s poster boy. His devastating turn in the international hit The Beat That My Heart Skipped introduced him as France’s best kept secret.
Since then he’s gone on to appear in a string of international hits such as Molière, Paris and Afterwards (which, incidentally, is based on the book ‘Et après’ by Gallic Books author Guillaume Musso.
This summer sees the UK release for his latest film Heartbreaker and London-based Francophiles will be whooping with joy to learn that it will be shown at the French Institute’s wonderful Ciné lumière in South Kensington.
Heartbreaker sees Duris play a professional breaker-up of relationships. It is part slapstick comedy and it’ll be interesting to see how the Frenchman plays his role having made his name in much grittier films. However, if the trailer is anything to go by the signs are good.
The film has received rave reviews in France where it has raced to the top of the cinema charts. The Ciné lumière are showing it, with subtitles, on two nights in June and ten nights in July. Make sure you catch it while you can!
