LEARNING TO LOVE

A disillusioned young man collides with a bright-eyed university student whose unshakeable faith in true love forces him to confront everything he’s spent years burying.

Tone & Comparables

The kind of film this is.

Quiet and precise. A film about emotional guardedness told through behavior — what people do instead of saying what they mean. Western setting, Muslim cultural texture as background. Closer in spirit to The Spectacular Now or Past Lives than to a conventional romance.

Comparables

Past Lives

emotional restraint, the weight of what isn’t said

The Spectacular Now

intimacy as vulnerability, not fantasy

In the Mood for Love

the gap between feeling and expression
