#Love

Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s scandalous drama Reigen and Chantal Akerman’s famous film Tout en Nuit, the viewer witnesses a modern cycle of love. The film portrays fleeting moments of happiness and disappointment: a young woman talks about her non-binary existence. We observe another woman who, after long years of marriage, finally leaves her home to embark on her first romantic adventure in a hotel room with a “blind date”. This is followed by a drunken drive home for a couple, whose nighttime outing ends in a dark landscape. To be continued!

Directed by Ludwig Wüst, #Love leans on a strong ensemble — Jona Moro, Mal Ballata, Samira Rehman De Almeida — 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 documentary titles of 2024.
