What will be the top French movies of 2024? We have prepared a wide selection for you here. But L’Amour ouf should definitely be a part of it, if only because of the anticipation surrounding this project and its scale (it should be over 3 hours long!). We appreciate this film, with new photos.
Here is one shared variety.
Francois Civil and Adele Exarchopoulos
L’Amour ouf brings together a particularly interesting cast. Two of this generation’s favorite actors will play the lead roles, François Civil and Adele Exarchopoulos. FYI, they both shared the Bac Nord poster with Gilles Lelouch.
Malik Fricka (seen in Apaches) and Mallory Vanek (seen in Les Pires) will play the other two leads. They will play the young version of the characters played by François Civil and Adele Exarchopoulos. L’Amour Ouf takes place in several eras and crosses temporalities.

A great, ultra-violent musical romantic love story spanning 20 years! L’Amour ouf tells the love story between a little bandit and his insolent bride, with stories and stories colliding, as summarized by Pierre Lesquières on Beau Geste France 2, who dedicated a lengthy report on the film.

What kind of movie will it be?
L’Amour Ouf will have the uniqueness of crossing genres. “A mix of genres, especially musical comedy. It’s a teenage movie, a love movie…“, develops Gilles Lelouch on the microphone of Beau Geste.I love the mix of genres. Violence mixed with humor, irony in the midst of great sincerity. I tried to do a kind of sensory journey“, he continues in the columns of “Premier” magazine for the month of December 2023.
In terms of references, the producers are hailing the director’s love for cinema that calls out to Scorsese, Tarantino or West Side Story… The film will have an XXL length as quoted references…
Gilles Lelouch explains at the premiere that he warned his producers from the beginning that the film would not be less than 3 hours long. “Not because I’m on Meluni’s Martin Scorsese, but because I can’t tell this story in less time“.
For the dance part, the director called the most sought-after company of the moment: the collective (La)Horde, for which this will be their first foray into cinema.

Why are you waiting so much for this movie?
L’Amour ouf had a long genesis. The project has been announced for a long time, the first attempt to make this film was made a few years ago with Benoit Polvorde.
Gilles Lelouch has been teasing his upcoming feature film, the sequel to Le Grand Bain. The film will be called L’amour ouf and is billed as an “ultra-violent romantic comedy.”

The project was put on hold and the actor produced Le Grand Bain, with success as we know it (4.3 million admissions). As the director explains, it was the success of this film that allowed him to realize this new project, which he had been thinking about for exactly 17 years! “This movie is a fantasy“, he admits still on the microphone of Beau Geste, which was broadcast on Sunday 15 October on France 2.
L’Amour Ouf will be Gilles Lelouch’s third feature film after Narco and Grand Bane. It will be released on October 16, 2024.
