Synopsis
After Love (L'économie du couple, 2016) is Joachim Lafosse's Belgian-French drama, available to watch online on iFILM. Bérénice Bejo and Cédric Kahn play a couple whose marriage is over, even if the divorce refuses to finish.
Fifteen years, two daughters, one house. Marie paid for it; Boris rebuilt it with his own hands — and neither can now afford to leave. So the exes stay trapped under the same roof, splitting rooms, custody hours and every euro that passes between them. Lafosse shoots in long, near-silent takes that drop you straight into the middle of their kitchen-table standoffs.
This is close-quarters cinema about love curdling into accounting. Bejo, miles from the glamour of The Artist, plays exhaustion and stubbornness with no vanity at all. If you like talky European drama that withholds easy answers and tidy endings, it lands hard. Stream After Love online on iFILM.
