EXCLUSIVE: Martin Provost’s Love Lessons (Demain Je Tombe Amoureux), starring Fabrice Luchini as a retired professor forced to rethink his life after his wife leaves him, has sold widely for Paradise City Sales.
The film, co-starring Emmanuelle Devos, Chiara Mastroianni and Carole Bouquet. is heading to Canada (A-Z Films), Italy (BIM Distribuzione), Germany (Neue Visionen), Austria (Panda Film), Spain (ADSO Films), Switzerland (Filmcoopi), Israel (Lev Cinemas) and Hungary (Cirko Films). Memento Distribution will release the film in France and Imagine Film will distribute in Benelux.
Paradise City launched Love Letters before the AFM in October 2025 and brokered most of the deals at this month’s Paris Rendez-Vous.
The film – whose French title translates to “Tomorrow, I’ll fall in love” – is about a professor in his late 60s whose wife leaves him on the night he retires from teaching, turning his life upside down and leaving him to live by the lessons in love and literature he has been teaching his students.
It is Provost’s ninth feature and reteams him with longtime production partners François Kraus and Denis Pineau-Valencienne at Les Films du Kiosque after 2023’s Bonnard, Pierre & Marthe, which premiered at Cannes, and with DOP Guillaume Schiffman (an Oscar nominee for The Artist).
Provost’s other films include Seraphine, which won seven Cesar awards; period drama Violette; Berlin selection The Midwife starring Catherine Deneuve; and comedy The Good Wife with Juliette Binoche.
