Anaïs in Love

Anaïs in Love (Les Amours d'Anaïs, 2021) is a French romantic dramedy you can watch online on iFILM. Anaïs is perpetually late, behind on her rent and unsure whether she still loves her boyfriend. What she's good at is falling — fast, and all the way.

First it's Daniel, an older married publisher. Then she meets his wife, Émilie, a novelist who quickly becomes the strongest feeling Anaïs has ever chased. Anaïs Demoustier plays her like a gust of wind: talkative, charming, forever outrunning her own anxiety. Valeria Bruni Tedeschi answers as Émilie with a quieter, grown-up tenderness, and the gap between those two energies is where the film lives. First-time director Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet shoots it sun-soaked and summery, a portrait of a woman who can't sit still and follows her desire without checking where it leads. Light on the surface, melancholy underneath — ideal for anyone who likes French cinema about feeling rather than moralizing. Stream Anaïs in Love (2021) online on iFILM.
