About Love Is Better Than Life
Upon their release from prison twenty years earlier, Gérard, Ary and Philippe asked themselves if honesty was not the best racket of them all. Today, they are inseparable and scrupulously above board. But Gérard learns he is terminally ill. Their friend’s days being numbered, Ary and Philippe want to offer him one last love story… because, as Gérard likes to say : love is better than life.
Directed by Claude Lelouch, Love Is Better Than Life leans on a strong ensemble — Sandrine Bonnaire, Gérard Darmon, Philippe Lellouche — 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 comedy titles of 2022.
