Anais (Anais Demoustier) is one of those typical movie 30-year-olds who don’t know what to do with life. She behaves quite frivolously and irresponsibly for her age, she does not have a permanent job, and she seems completely immature for a serious relationship. Thus, in the beginning, she will quite coldly shoot the boyfriend with whom she is seven weeks pregnant and tell him that she has decided to have an abortion, and at the same time, Anais will enter into a relationship with Daniel (Bruno Podalydes), a married editor who is almost twice her age. But she doesn’t seem hot for that relationship either, and very soon she will shift her focus of interest to Daniel’s wife, Emilie (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), a writer who will become a strange object of her obsession.
Debutante Charline Buorgeois – Tacquet presented herself with this humorous romantic drama during the criticism week of the Cannes festival, but “Anais in Love” or “Les amours d’Anais” was one of those films that did not particularly impress me. Anais is one of those completely chaotic characters who is always running somewhere, has some strange obsessions. It’s like she’s suffering from some border-line syndrome, she’s a bit in the euphoria phase, she’s a bit lethargic, and this well-read doctoral student seems to have tried to prove to herself that she can love. It is a fast-paced and dynamic film, and this entire story is carried by the young French actress Anais Demoustier (Alice and the Mayor, Gloria Mundi), who continues to choose significantly different roles from the previous one and quickly steps towards the A-list of French actors. Although at first it seemed to be one of those typical simple, fluffy French romantic comedies, it ended up being something more serious.
