Simple comme Sylvain - Expat Cinema Rotterdam
Sophia is a philosophy professor from a wealthy family, married to Xavier for ten years. They have a good but sexless marriage, more like friends than lovers. When Sophia meets contractor Sylvain to discuss renovating a dilapidated chalet, it’s love at first sight and sparks fly. However, Sylvain comes from a working-class background, which makes Sophia question her own beliefs and ambitions.
Simple comme Sylvain is a daring and satirical romantic comedy by Monia Chokri. It’s the third feature film by the Quebec-born director and actress, known for her roles in films by Denys Arcand (The Fall of the American Empire) and Xavier Dolan (Heartbeats, Laurence Anyways), and she also stars in her own new film. Simple comme Sylvain premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard program.
