A Mes Amours

Polyamory is the main theme of this graceful comedy that combines everything that French feminist postporn cinema has to offer: an engaging plot, situational humour and a carefully selected cast. Although the centrepiece of history is the visit of an American sociologist examining sexual norms in heterosexual monogamous relationships in the summer home of a French couple, “A Mes Amours” is also an immersive mirror of contemporary times and the middle class – supposedly open and progressive, but in fact still rooted in the 20th century and the privileges of a patriarchal society. It is worth seeing what Anoushka – the rising star of the new French femporn wave – has to offer, even if it appears almost mainstream. But perhaps this is actually a sign of the coming changes: the point is not only how narratives are told, but also what they are about. So if you want to delve into the hot climate of southern France and have a little laugh – this film is for you!
