A boisterously oddball, fiercely intelligent political romcom, Michel Leclerc’s The Names of Love features a star turn by comic ingénue Sara Forestier (L’Esquive).
Fearless and full of bawdy humor, Forestier is rabble-rousing sexpot Bahia Benmahmoud, who has a unique perspective on political strategy. When she meets middle-aged, uptight bird-flu expert, Arthur Martin (Jacques Gamblin), her heretofore-flawless strategy comes up short.
Much more than just an uproarious farce, The Names of Love is an astute portrait of the political, racial, social, and colonial history of contemporary France.
