Our next film will be the French romantic comedy Heartbreaker (L'Arnacoeur, 2010). The film stars noted French actors Romain Duris and Vanessa Paradis, amongst others.

Below is a short précis of the film:

Alex has set up an unusual business exploiting his natural charm with his sister and brother-in-law: for a fee, he promises to break up any unwanted relationship, converting any husband, fiancé or boyfriend into an 'ex' within a specified time period, on condition that the lady is "not knowingly unhappy". When he is hired by the father of beautiful heiress Juliette to get rid of her English fiancé, he finds himself facing his hardest challenge yet, as he sets out to break up a seemingly perfect couple for all the wrong reasons - including his own.

Heartbreaker was nominated for several César awards (the French Oscar equivalent) and won festival prizes in France and internationally.'
