This Saturday evening, France 4 will offer You deserve a lovethe actress's highly successful debut film Hafsia Herzi. A film released in 2019 in theaters, which First advises you.
A young woman struggles to recover from her boyfriend's infidelity. For her first feature film as a filmmaker, Hafsia Herzi has chosen a subject that seems to be worn out. But one should always be wary of appearances…
Discovered at Critics' Week, the story is intensely experienced at the pace of the emotional roller coaster of its heroine, unable to mourn this toxic lover and ready for all subterfuges, especially the most iconoclastic (calling on a marabout… friend of Carla Bruni!), so that this serial lover returns. Between rage, despair and bursts of saving laughter. You deserve a love has no other pretension than this accuracy of feelings.
Hafsia Herzi lives up to this damn fine ambition. Like her mentor Abdellatif Kechiche, she lets life – all the more natural because it is recreated without ever letting anything show – invade the screen. She gives pride of place to the gab and populates her story with supporting roles that are all perfect. An extroverted loudmouth (Djanis Bouzyani, a revelation) or a small ball of introverted sensitivity (Anthony Bajon), they give this story the colors of the rainbow and its breaks in rhythm that make it so endearing. But above all, she had the great idea of giving herself the central role in her film. Because her direction resembles her way of acting, this way of never appearing where you expect her to with a freedom that makes the field of possibilities infinite. Her joy in acting and filming shines through the screen.
You deserve a love – Anthony Bajon: “Hafsia Herzi wanted everything to be as close to reality as possible”
