Sedona Film Fest presents premiere of “The Nature of Love” from July 19-24

Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Nature of Love,” showing July 19-24 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theaters.

Sophia, a philosophy professor, has been in a stable and conventional marriage with Xavier for a decade. When Sophia meets Sylvain, a craftsman who is renovating the couple’s new country house, they begin a passionate affair.

Director Monia Chokri delivers a clever and sexy romantic comedy, injecting it with snappy energy and a fresh perspective that turns the conventions of the genre (and gender) on their head.

“A romantic comedy that is as sharp and insightful as it is funny. A deft, sexy and slightly wicked examination of romantic passion in a real-life setting.” – Wendy Ide, Screen Daily

“A sexy, funny treat. Monia Chokri’s delightful new film has an impeccable cast. Magalie Lépine Blondeau is wonderful.” — Catherine Bray, Variety

“Incredibly charming and warm-hearted… Sexy when she needs to be, smart and even silly at other times, which makes for an excellent mix.” – Jason Gorber, RogerEbert.com

“I’ve been hooked on this clever film ever since I saw it. Another fascinating discovery at Cannes this year that is sure to make its mark on the romantic comedy subgenre.” – Alex Billington, FirstShowing.net
