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 Theatres.
Sophia, a philosophy professor, has been in a stable and conventional marriage to Xavier for a decade. When Sophia meets Sylvain, a craftsman renovating the couple’s new country house, they begin a passionate affair.
Director Monia Chokri delivers a smart and sexy romantic comedy outline and infuses it with spiky energy and fresh perspective, upending genre (and gender) conventions.
“A romantic comedy as sharp and perceptive as it is funny. A deft, sexy and slightly spiteful examination of romantic passion in a real-world environment.” — Wendy Ide, Screen Daily
