Program Note
Born to Algerian-Jewish parents, Baya Benmahmoud is a free-spirited beauty with leftist political views. She loves to propagate right-wing men in bed. Arthur Martin is a stuck-up, middle-aged man. What if this unlikely man and woman with nothing in common, meet and fall in love?
This film is a delightful, sexy and often audacious romantic comedy that touches upon the issues of postcolonial immigrants and identity. Winner of the Cesar Award for Most Promising Actress for her performance in [L’esquive], Sara Forestier plays half-Algerian immigrant from Maghreb, and Jacques Gamblin, the French charming actor appears as a dopy middle-aged man. Out of this basic premise comes a bubbly comedy that talks about sex and identity that anyone can relate to. [The Names of Love] was selected as opening film for Critics’ Week at this year’s Cannes.
