If you have a love story you’ve always wanted to tell—and would like to be included in the LOVE film—please respond with your email address or phone number. First love, unrequited love, love at a distance, your first kiss, jealousy, enduring love, heartbreak, finding love, marriage, divorce, re-marriage—all stories are relevant.
Where does fiction end and reality begin? When I was growing up, my ideas about love were formed from books and movies. I guess you could say I was a romantic. My analyst once told me I was “in love with love” which I didn’t really understand at the time. Ten years ago, I started having serious doubts about this way of looking at things and decided to make a film, a journey–both physical and metaphysical– to ask questions, gather stories, explore philosophers’ beliefs, listen to psychologist’s insights, and confront past lovers’ confessions and accusations. At the heart of the matter are these questions: “What is the state of romantic love at the beginning of the 21st century?” “Where did it all begin and how has it evolved through the ages?” And finally, “Is there such a thing as true love or does it only exist in fiction?” Blurring fiction and non-fiction—in life and film. A meditation on love. A comedy. A fool’s quest.
