Vicky Krieps, Antoine Reinartz, Viggo Ferreira-Redier, Monia Chokri
Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread) plays a woman paying a high price for freedom in Anna Cazenave Cambet’s (Gold for Dogs) adaptation of Constance Debré’s bestselling novel.
Clémence (Krieps) has been separated from her ex-husband Laurent (Antoine Reinartz) for three years. When she tells him she’s started seeing women, he cuts off communication and claims full custody of their son (Viggo Ferreira-Redier). But Clémence – pursuing new relationships and a new career – refuses to compromise.
An intense and quietly radical drama about motherhood, desire and self-discovery, Love Me Tender features another fierce, complex performance from Krieps, who is luminous as a woman determined to realise her own liberation, no matter the cost.
