“Crazy Love” is one of the most anticipated French films, especially because of its cast, led by Fran\u00e7ois Civil and Ad\u00e8le Exarchopoulos. Alain Chabat, Benoit Poelvoorde, Vincent Lacoste, Jean-Pascal Zadi, Elodie Bouchez, Karim Leklou, Rapha\u00ebl Quenard, Anthony Bajon, and many others also star in the movie.<\/p>\n

After competing at Cannes last May, “Crazy Love” finally releases its trailer, giving a good glimpse into the film’s scale.<\/p>\n

The feature film will hit theaters on October 16. However, eager fans can catch it earlier on Sunday, October 13, at 4 PM in over 400 theaters across France during a special preview event. Find all the screenings here.<\/p>\n

The showing will be followed by a live discussion with the film’s crew, during which the audience can participate by sharing their reactions and asking questions via a QR code displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n

A Grand Romantic Musical Love Story<\/h2>\n

The film is an epic romantic musical love story with extreme violence spanning 20 years. “The 1980s, in northern France. Jackie and Clotaire grow up between the school benches and the port docks. She studies; he loiters. Then their paths cross, and it’s crazy love. Life tries to tear them apart, but nothing works, these two are like the two ventricles of the same heart…<\/i>“<\/p>\n

The film spans several eras and intertwines different timelines. Malik Frikah (seen in “Apaches”) and Mallory Wanecque (seen in “The Worst”) play the younger versions of the characters portrayed by Fran\u00e7ois Civil and Ad\u00e8le Exarchopoulos.<\/p>\n

The screenplay by Gilles Lellouche, based on Neville Thompson’s book, is co-written with Ahmed Hamidi and Audrey Diwan.<\/p>\n

What is the Genre of the Film?<\/h2>\n

“Crazy Love” is unique in its blending of genres. “A mix of genres, including musical. It’s a teen movie, it’s a love film…<\/i>“, Gilles Lellouche explains to Beau Geste.<\/p>\n

“I love mixing genres. Violence tinged with humor, irony amidst the utmost sincerity. I tried to create a kind of sensory journey<\/i>“, he continues in the December 2023 issue of Premi\u00e8re magazine.<\/p>\n

In terms of references, the producers praise the director’s love of cinema, invoking Scorsese, Tarantino, or West Side Story… The film will have an extended run time of 2 hours and 40 minutes, similar to the mentioned inspirations…<\/p>\n

For the dance sequences, the director enlisted the most sought-after company of the moment: the collective (La)Horde, marking their first foray into film.<\/p>\n

Why the Long Wait for This Film?<\/h2>\n

“Crazy Love” has had a lengthy development. The project has been in the works for a long time. An initial attempt to make this film took place with Benoit Poelvoorde several years ago. <\/p>\n

The project was put on hold, and Gilles Lellouche directed “Sink or Swim,” which was a major success (4.3 million admissions). As the director explains, it was indeed the success of that film that enabled him to pursue this new project, which he had been considering for exactly 17 years! <\/p>\n

“Crazy Love” is Gilles Lellouche’s third feature film, following “Narco” and “Sink or Swim.” It will be released on October 16, 2024.<\/p>\n
