Directors Harpo and Lenny Guit, known for their offbeat, irreverent style, this time tackle the romantic comedy with Aimer perdre. In this film, we follow Armande Pigeon, a broke young woman addicted to gambling, who navigates between debts and foolish risk-taking. But when it comes to love, the stakes are even higher. María Cavalier-Bazan plays this endearing, unpredictable heroine, accompanied byAxel Perin and Michael Zindel, in a story that promises situations as funny as they are moving.
Aimer perdre will be released in cinemas from March 26, 2025.
Synopsis: Unemployed and up to her eyeballs in debt, 26-year-old Armande Pigeon is struggling in Brussels. On top of that, she has a penchant for gambling and doesn't hesitate to take risks, because for Armande, all bets are good. All except one, perhaps the craziest, which she still struggles to risk: the bet of love.
With Aimer perdre, the Guit brothers once again seem to be exploring an offbeat style of cinema, somewhere between black humor and the absurd. Those who appreciate tales where the anti-hero is pushed to his limits, in the manner of the Safdie brothers' Uncut Gems or gritty Belgian comedies like La Merditude des Choses, might find something to their liking.
The film is aimed at audiences who appreciate stories about beautiful losers, where the line between laughter and drama is fine. Those who like classic romances, however, may be thrown off balance by the Guit brothers' singular tone, as they like to blur the codes of the genre.
Aimer perdre promises to be an atypical romantic comedy, with incisive humor and an original take on love and addiction. A film that could appeal to fans of independent cinema and offbeat universes, while offering food for thought on the risks we take... and those we avoid.
