Love Me If You Dare

2003 · 93 min

A giddy, cruel, candy-coloured romance that keeps you off balance, swinging between playful mischief and something genuinely unsettling.

Directed by: Yann Samuell
Genres: Drama, Comedy, Romance
Starring: Guillaume Canet, Marion Cotillard, Thibault Verhaeghe

Tagline: When is love a game, and when is it not?
Overview: As adults, best friends Julien and Sophie continue the odd game they started as children -- a fearless competition to outdo one another with daring and outrageous stunts. While they often act out to relieve one another's pain, their game might be a way to avoid the fact that they are truly meant for one another.
