Fanny Oplinus & Daan Hugaert - Speak to Me of Love

This brilliant comedy by Philippe Claudel leaves no one untouched. It is midnight. Time for truths. The moment when a man and a woman, tired of partying, decide to settle their scores. Claudel sketches a jubilant picture of our society and discusses all our excesses: from the upbringing of children to mother-in-law aversion, from male hypochondria to the desire for plastic surgery of women, fake intellectualism, political hypocrisy, sexual freedom, dealing with the elderly... This dance for two, this tender slap and loving cry is performed by two beautiful, intense talents. Fanny Oplinus shines as a characterful wife and lards her character with her fantasy and life experience. Daan Hugaert braces himself with provocative sincerity and humor. A mix made in heaven. This marital western is an invitation to laughter and self-insight for everyone who loves, has loved, and will love. "Both actors spark playing pleasure into the room. Fanny Oplinus testifies to physical courage and plays with full dedication. And what an experienced theater veteran Daan Hugaert is, whose deliciously telling body language and mimicry at times remind one of Louis de Funès."
