Simple comme Sylvain (The Nature of Love)

Feeling like her marriage has gone stale, Sophie, an intellectual philosophy professor, decides to abandon her comfortable life for a passionate affair with Sylvain, a blue-collar contractor who appears to be her polar opposite. 

Cleverly unpacking the conventions of relationships, The Nature of Love premiered at Cannes to critical acclaim, earning 14 Prix Iris nominations (with Chokri winning for best director), and won the César award for Best Foreign Film.

“A delightful modern love triangle about our paradoxical desires for passion and comfort.” - Christian Zilco, IndieWire
