"Drama, outlaw romance and social critique make this a compelling statement from one of French cinema's vital new voices." - London Film Festival
Julie (Anaïs Demoustier) is a young, disillusioned arts graduate. Living in a tiny Parisian apartment, she's not really coping with either the realities of the job market or the absurdities of the corporate world. When she meets Ben, an attractive and mysterious actor, he seems to offer her a chance to break free from the cycle of dead end work and empty sexual encounters.
One of the true emerging talents of the French cinema scene, writer-director Isabelle Czajka's sophomore outing, Living on Love Alone is an incisive account of reaching adulthood in a modern, fragmented Europe. Both cynical and hopeful, Czajka's film is a sweetly played satire doubling as a thoughtful romance.
