Jed prepares to interview french cineaste and self-appointed expert on the nature of love - Thierry Grimandi (Eric Cantona). The worldly and somewhat jaded Jed is dead-set on dismissing the auteur's musings as pompous and, well French, until his own relationship with Cheryl starts to fall apart and he is forced to re-evaluate the illusive subject. Soon everyone is talking about love: his relationship counsellor, drinking buddy Marcus and Marcus' girlfriend Sophie. Beginnings, endings, tricks... Could the French be on to something.
"French film" is a British comedy about love, as opposed a romantic comedy", - says director Jackie Oudney.
