“Finally, something cool is happening. Enjoy it, girl.” Netflix has revealed the official trailer for a sweet new romantic comedy movie titled French Lover, arriving for streaming to watch later in September. It hasn’t played at any fests but that doesn’t matter it looks fun anyway. Abel Camara, the biggest star of the moment, crosses paths with girl-next-door Marion. Neither of them suspects this will be the beginning of a great love story. This is a fun twist on the usual romantic comedy concept – here it’s the guy who is the glamorous, out-of-your-league, dreamboat and the girl is the more homebody, regular lady who wins his heart. Why not? Though this is becoming more common, especially within many Netflix movies. Starring Omar Sy & Sara Giraudeau, with Pascale Arbillot, Alban Ivanov, Cindy Bruna, and Agnès Hurstel. When a jaded famous actor randomly encounters a down-on-her-luck waitress in Paris, their unexpected love story begins — but will it survive the glare of the spotlight? It looks very cheesy but charming enough to watch and enjoy.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Lisa-Nina Rives’ film French Lover, direct from YouTube:
Abel Camara (Omar Sy) is a star, a sex symbol. A child prodigy, he grew up in front of the cameras. He who seems to have everything—success, money, and the public’s love—is going through a rough patch. Marion (Sara Giraudeau), on the other hand, is far from the glitz and glamour; in the middle of a divorce, she’s juggling odd jobs to get by. When Abel and Marion meet, an emotional roller coaster begins that is far from obvious… French Lover is directed by newcomer French filmmaker Lisa-Nina Rives, making her feature directorial debut after working for many years as a script supervisor previously, including on Omar Sy’s film Two Is a Family (2016). The screenplay is written by Hugo Gélin, Noémie Saglio, Lisa-Nina Rives; based on a format created by Shirli Mushoyef. Produced by Hugo Gélin. Netflix debuts Rives’ French Lover film streaming on Netflix worldwide starting September 26th, 2025 coming soon. Who wants to watch?
