Anaïs in Love is to Paris, what Frances Ha is to New York. Annais (Anaïs Demoustier) is the eternal student, with a half-finished doctorate whose subject matter of French passion in the distant past puts herself at the centre of her non-studying universe.

Each moment, each day, each missed deadline, uncovers new material waiting for her. Her mum’s liver cancer has blazed up again and she’s dumped her boyfriend for an older guy. She thinks, being older, he’d appreciate her. Show the kind of grand passion she’d expect. But Daniel (Denis Podalydès) proves to be a bit of a drip.

But there’s more to him than meets the eye. His wife, for example, is a writer.  Emile (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) suddenly becomes everything Anais wants to be. Reading Emile is reading herself. Annais decides they’re destined to meet. And she makes sure they do.

Will they?

Won’t they?

The stars are always in alignment for Anais. That’s part of the beauty of her. Perhaps all of the beauty of her (until we suspect, she gets old and burns out—offscreen?)

Seize the day.

A beauty to behold.
