Love Is in the Air

Love Is in the Air (Amour & turbulences, 2013) is a French romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alexandre Castagnetti. Lawyer Antoine (Nicolas Bedos) boards a flight from New York to Paris and finds his ex-girlfriend Julie (Ludivine Sagnier) in the next seat. Seven hours at thirty thousand feet. Neither can switch seats.

What follows is a mid-air reckoning: the old arguments resurface, the competing versions of why they broke up collide in the aisle, and flashbacks to the relationship play out between the seat rows. Antoine is convinced he was wronged. Julie has a different account — equally convincing.

It's a tight, witty chamber piece that wrings real warmth from a single confined setting. Stream Love Is in the Air (2013) online on iFILM.
