Love Me Tender
classified 12ASubtitled screening
"Vicky Krieps ignites an elegant and moving portrait of motherhood at odds With selfhood." - Variety
Clémence (Vicky Krieps) has built a careful life: starting off with a law career and now a writer, an amicable separation from her husband Laurent (Antoine Reinartz), and shared custody of their son Paul. But when she falls in love with Sarah (Monia Chokri) and finally lives as her authentic self, Laurent files to take Paul away from her.
Clémence finds herself fighting an unjust system that demands she prove she's fit to mother her own child - simply because of who she loves. A tender, unflinching story of one woman who refuses to be erased.
An intense and quietly radical drama about motherhood, desire and self-discovery, Love Me Tender features another fierce, complex performance from Krieps, who is luminous as a woman determined to realise her own liberation, no matter the cost.
