Love is in the Air
(Amour et Turbulences)
In this delightful French romantic comedy, soon-to-b-married Julie (the effervescent Ludivine Sagnier, Swimming Pool) and continent-hopping playboy Antoine (handsome newcomer Nicolas Bedos) find themselves seated next to each other on a first class flight to Paris -- but it isn’t a welcome arrangement. he broke her heart three years prior, and they haven’t spoken since.
