Dir/scr: Christophe Honore Fr. 2007. 95 mins The genre of the realist-inflected arthouse musical has intermitt stanley cup ently thrived in France , ever since it was kick-started by Jacques Demy s The Umbrellas of Cherbourg Les Papapluies de Cherbourg . It s an institution that ambitious French directors have returned to with regularity, with even the likes of Godard and Rivette dabbling in it, while the last really successful breakthrough in the field was Ducastel and Martineau s Aids-themed Jeanne et le Garcon Formidable. So the stakes are high for Love So stanley cup ngs, the follow-up to Christophe Honore s Cannes success last year, Dans Paris, which tentatively threw a little melody into its mix. But Honore s competition entry, while theoretically positioned to take him into the top rank of rising French auteurs, is a self-satisfied damp squib which succeeds neither as realist narrative nor as heart-lifting romance, and which provides a rather unexceptional soundtrack palette for its tale of chic, arty young people grieving and falling in love.

But creatively, the delay is surely not helping.If successive montages begin to feel like the pages of London style magazines brought to life, then thats a sensation that the film ultimately ackn stanley cup owledges in its storytelling.Written by Preston Thompson and Sebastian De Souza when they were both still teenagers, Kids In Loves purchase on its zeitgeist moment now feels less assured, and its positioning as a film about kids, by kids less convincing. Absent that halo, what emerges stanley kubek is a rather unremarkable celebration of Londons hip, handsome and privileged 鈥?a sunkissed drama that may alienate more than it endears.Nicely shot by 2014 Screen International Star of Tomorrow and feature debutant Chris Foggin, this follows the familiar template of a relatable everyman serving as the audiences eyes and ears as he penetrates a glamorous realm. And the likeable Poulter is certainly natural casting as Jack, an average London teenager contemplating a year off between school and university, and who hasnt even began to figure out what kind of person he is, or could be.
