First Trailer for ‘Beating Hearts’ French Romance Starring François Civil

“Thinking of you meant worrying about you…” Studiocanal has revealed an official trailer for a French epic romance film titled Beating Hearts, featuring English subtitles so everyone can hear what they’re saying. This premiered at the end of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, with mostly negative and a few positive reviews. The decade-spanning love story thriller is about a boy and girl who fall for each other as teens. But he’s a criminal and gets locked up – hoping to find her years later. Local rebellious teen Clotaire falls for his schoolmate Jackie, but gang violence leads him down a darker path. After years apart, the star-crossed lovers discover every path they’ve taken leads them back together. Does it? Adèle Exarchopoulos & François Civil star as the older versions of Jackie & Clotaire. It also stars Mallory Wanecque & Malik Frikah as teens, Jean-Pascal Zadi, Benoît Poelvoorde, Alain Chabat, Élodie Bouchez, Vincent Lacoste, and Raphaël Quenard. This was one of the worst films I saw in Cannes – overlong, overwrought, annoyingly generic & cliche, with zero originality. It’s all style in a film with entirely no substance. Oh well. // Continue Reading ›
