French Film (2008)

Jed prepares to interview French cineaste and self-appointed expert on the nature of love - Thierry Grimandi.

Soon everyone is talking about love: his relationship counsellor, drinking buddy Marcus and Marcus' girlfriend Sophie Beginnings, endings, tricks...could the French be on to something?
