Film review: There's a lot more to Anaïs in Love than bed-hopping amour fou

No one does bedroom farce quite like the French

Anaïs in Love explores the limits — if limits there are — to a woman’s independence.

★★★★☆

Anaïs in Love (15A) stars Anaïs Demoustier as the eponymous heroine, a young Parisian student of literature who believes that ‘she doesn’t know how to love’. She’s giving it the old college try, though: pregnant with her boyfriend’s (Christophe Montenez) baby, Anais embarks on an affair with the much older Daniel (Denis Podalydès), only to discover that she’s far more attracted to Daniel’s girlfriend Emilie (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi).
