Beating Hearts

The phenomenal Adèle Exarchopoulos (Passages) and François Civil (The Three Musketeers), devour the screen in BEATING HEARTS, Gilles Lellouche’s vibrant, genre-spanning romantic epic.

In the 1980s Clotaire (Civil) and Jackie (Exarchopoulos) meet in their teens in their Northern France working-class neighbourhood. Jackie is a diligent student from the middle class; Clotaire a charming troublemaker with a complex family life. Despite their differences the pair collide and an intense and unmistakable connection is sparked. But tragedy soon pulls them apart. A decade later, Clotaire tries desperately to win back his lost love. But has his chance passed?

Driven by Jon Brion's kinetic soundtrack, indelible production design, and all-star supporting cast, BEATING HEARTS pays homage to the US independent film wave of the 80s and early 90s, but creates an impact truly of its own.
