Les Combattants (UK-import)
Between his friends and the family business, Arnaud s summer looks set to be a peaceful one in his dead-end seaside town. Peaceful, that is, until he runs into a fight with Madeleine - a hot-tempered survival fanatic who throws him to the ground while, in a more romantic sense, sweeping him off his feet. A vibrant and acerbically funny subversion of romantic comedy norms, French filmmaker Thomas Cailley s debut feature is a smart and unorthodox take on young love that took the top prize at Directors Fortnight during Cannes Film Festival 2014.
