Status: Released on 15th May 2009 by Vertico Films. Represented by The Works International. Director: Jackie Oudney
French Film is an original and intelligent romantic comedy which playfully pits the French against the Brits when it comes to relationships. Journalist Jed (Hugh Bonneville) prepares to interview French auteur and self-appointed expert on the nature of love - Thierry Grimandi (Eric Cantona). Jed is dead-set on dismissing the auteur's musings as absurd until his own relationship with Cheryl (Victoria Hamilton) starts to fall apart, and he is forced to re-evaluate everything he thought he knew about love. But Jed's not the only one. Even drinking buddy Marcus (Douglas Henshall) starts to prefer the subject of love to football when his perfect relationship with Sophie (Anne-Marie-Duff) takes an unexpected turn.
