L’Amour Ouf: the new great French success of 2024
After Something more AND The Count of Monte Cristoanother French film is enjoying phenomenal success in theaters, as well as generating enthusiasm on social networks. It’s about Ugh love by Gilles Lellouche, on display from 16 October.
The film will arrive in two weeks the two million spectatorswhich is already half of the final score of the Great bathroomthe previous success of Gilles Lellouche, for a final score that will be at least 5 million (and certainly more, if word of mouth continues).
As a reminder, Ugh love is an adaptation of the novel Jackie loves Johnser, okay? by Irish writer Neville Thompson. Gilles Lellouche chose to locate his land in the north of France to follow a passionate romantic relationship between Jackie (played by Mallory Wanecque and then Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Clotaire (played by Malik Frikah and then by François Civil) for ten years.
The scene imagined by Gilles Lellouche was too violent
Ugh love obviously talks about love, but also about violence, through the chaotic journey of Clotaire, condemned to spend ten years behind bars. The film is full of violent scenesincluding an impressive shootout in the first few minutes of the film. And Gilles Lellouche even imagined going even further, with a Tarantino-style scene that included a combine harvester…
In an interview given to New Obsthe director in fact confided that he had imagined a sequence in which a character, dressed only in underwear, finds himself running away through a cornfield in the dead of nightwith his hands tied, chased by a combine harvester. Until the car finally reached him.
However, the idea was deemed too extreme for the film and the producers advised Lellouche to reduce the violence to keep in line with the overall tone of the film. Ugh love. Ultimately, he chose not to include this scene in the filming, after realizing that the intensity of this violence might distract from the film’s central love story.
He even admitted in an interview that he had “broken the heads” of his screenwriters with this idea, before concluding that the violence needed to be “told on a human level” so as not to dominate the film’s romantic intrigue.
