‘Beating Hearts’ World Premiere Gets 15-Minute Standing Ovation – Cannes Film Festival


'Beating Hearts' (L’Amour Ouf). Gilles Lellouche’s competition entry from Studiocanal, was greeted with a 15-minute standing ovation in its premiere at Cannes.

The modern Romeo and Juliet tale co-stars François Civil, who featured as D’Artagnan in last year’s Three Musketeers reboot, and Blue is the Warmest Color ’s Adèle Exarchopoulos. Having gone their separate ways when the boy gets caught up in gang violence and lands in jail on trumped-up murder charges, the couple reconnects against the odds years later. Lellouche has transposed the story to France, co-writing the screenplay with Ahmed Hamidi, his collaborator on 2018 comedy Sink Or Swim, and Venice Golden Lion winner Audrey Diwan.
