Modern Love is a romantic comedy directed by Stéphane Kazandjian and released in theaters in 2008. Starring Alexandra Lamy, Stéphane Rousseau, and Bérénice Bejo, the film combines intertwined love stories, humor, and music. It will be available on Disney+ starting November 7, 2025.
Modern Love tells several contemporary love stories. Eric loves Anne, but reunites with Marie, his ex, and dreams of a second chance. Elsa, convinced she has found the ideal man in Jérôme, sees her certainties waver. Vincent and Marianne, who are complete opposites, end up growing closer. These destinies intertwine to compose a choral narrative about dreams, breakups, and reunions—in short, a great love story.
The film explores different facets of romantic love in a tone that is both tender and ironic. At times a musical comedy, Modern Love alternates between the real world and "film within a film," playing on the codes of the genre to offer a lighthearted and urban reflection on contemporary relationships.
Stéphane Kazandjian, after Sexy Boys (2001), directs his second feature film here. Inspired by American romantic comedies, he wanted to combine male and female perspectives. The film stands out for its visual style: a deliberate contrast between reality and fiction, created in collaboration with cinematographer Régis Blondeau and production designer Philippe Chiffre. Stéphane Rousseau and Alexandra Lamy perform their own songs, composed by Martin Rappeneau. The film was shot in Paris, with a resolutely contemporary and generational tone.
A romantic musical comedy, Modern Love is for fans of urban love stories and bright atmospheres. It combines humor, romance, and a touch of melancholy around the modern couple.
