Impossible Love, An (15)

Drama

A drama which follows a relationship between a man and woman over several decades.


The critical consensus

An Impossible Love is a modern take on melodrama, full of strong moments, approachable storytelling and anchored by a terrific turn from Efira wrapped up in a stinging rebuke of class rejection.

Between Corsini's direction and the production design and cinematography's subtle charms, An Impossible Love still manages to be an engrossing, quietly devastating drama.

Corsini is a film-maker who has always been drawn to the themes of female sexuality and the challenge and transgression that it represents. This is her best picture so far.

*****Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 03/01/2019

A romantic drama that becomes a social commentary that takes on an impossible scope.
