French Canadian filmmaker Monia Chokri dissects one woman’s mid-life crisis, the chasm between classes, and the notion that opposites attract in her deadpan romantic comedy The Nature of Love. Sophia is a 40-year-old philosophy professor in a long-term, intellectually-stimulating but sexually-tepid relationship with the equally cerebral Xavier. Then she crosses paths with Sylvain, the strapping working-class contractor renovating their country house… and libidinous sparks fly. Despite her well-prepared lectures on love and desire according to Plato, Schopenhauer, Spinoza and Bell Hooks, Sophia is now well out of her depth and plunges into uncharted emotional waters.
