About Roselyne and the Lions
Thierry drops out of school to apprentice as a lion tamer at the zoo where he meets Roselyne, who shares his passion. They fall in love and when he loses his job, the young lovers journey across France finding odd jobs at several circuses. In Germany, they fall under the tutelage of ageing big cat trainer, Klint, and while they are closer to realising their dreams, they find that their success drivers them part.
Directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix, Roselyne and the Lions leans on a strong ensemble — Isabelle Pasco, Gérard Sandoz, Gabriel Monnet — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1988.
