About Cela s'appelle l'amour
The theme of Romeo and Juliet is the starting point from which the film spins a web of several stories. A love story between a boy and a girl whose families are Algerian: they are young, beautiful and they are trying to build a family and a social life in France. They love each other, and yet conflicts, family pressure and contradicting desires alternately tear them apart and unite them. The story of Romeo and Juliet, minus death.
Directed by Marcel Hanoun, Cela s'appelle l'amour leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Lonsdale, Eliane Kirsher, Nora Hiba — 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 1989.
