A new romantic film, “The Opportunities of Love”, directed by Stéphane Brizé, is currently screening at the Moretto cinema in Brescia until Tuesday the 31st. The film stars Guillaume Canet and Alba Rohrwacher and tells the story of Mathieu, a troubled actor seeking refuge in a luxurious spa. There, he meets Alice, a former pianist with whom he shares a significant past. Their unexpected encounter leads them to explore repressed feelings and relive intense moments of their life together, despite their lives being well-defined by this point.
The film review highlights the director’s ability to tackle the theme of love without falling into banal sentimentality. The screenplay, co-written with Marie Drucker, is described as authentic and profound, capable of conveying complex emotions through the characters and their interactions. With evocative cinematography that alternates between the sterile spaces of the spa and the beauty of the Breton countryside, the film serves as an intense reflection on love and its complications.
