Beating Hearts
Buy ticketsAdèle Exarchopoulos and François Civil are irresistible in this grand, violent, and seductively musical love epic — the French box office sensation of the year!
It’s the early ’80s, and The Cure crackles over the radio in northern France. After being expelled from Catholic private school, Jackie finds herself in the same classroom as suburban bad boy Clotaire. It’s love at first sight, but when Clotaire is imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, their romance is abruptly put on hold—for twelve long years.
Gilles Lellouche, in collaboration with Golden Lion-winning Audrey Diwan (Happening, GFF 2022), has transformed the cult Irish coming-of-age novel Jackie Loves Johnser OK? into a quintessentially French love odyssey, blending social realist fresco, high-octane gangster thriller, and sweeping musical spectacle. A La La Land de banlieue —an unmissable experience for all Francophiles.
