About Man's Gentle Love
This is the story of a young man at the dawn of the 21st century. He belongs to the most vulnerable, most futile and most appealing segment of society. Raoul flits from woman to woman, searching for seemingly unattainable love, until he meets Jeanne, who is fated to live freely and tragically.
Directed by Jean-Paul Civeyrac, Man's Gentle Love leans on a strong ensemble — Renaud Bécard, Claire Pérot, Marie-Joséphine Crenn — 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 drama titles of 2002.
