DVD Mini Review - Love Me If You Dare
A few words about a film that I missed when it was in theaters a few years ago. Love Me If You Dare is an original, unconventional love story written and directed by Yann Samuell.
Julien (Thibault Verhaeghe) and Sophie (Josephine Lebas-Joly) meet when they are eight years old. There friendship is based on a game of dare. And what a wild time they have. It is too bad the adults don't share their enthusiasm. They remain friends throughout college and are now played by Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard. Julien and Sophie are still into their game but the older they get the darker their dares become.
I won't say much more about the plot. If you want to see what happens to them during their lives then rent the film. The film is beautifully shot and the music is wonderful. All of the actors give fine performances.
It is interesting to note that various versions of La Vie En Rose play throughout the film. Some time after this film Cotillard made the film La Vie En Rose and won the Oscar for portraying Edith Piaf. Canet directed the film Tell No One, a thriller that was a big hit last year. And the two of them are actually a couple off screen.
In any case, if you want your typical Hollywood love story then stay away from this film. But if you are looking for something different then check this out.
