Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker (L'Arnacœur, 2010) is a French romantic comedy to watch online on iFILM, directed by Pascal Chaumeil. Alex, played by Romain Duris, runs a very specific business: he breaks up couples for money. A client hires him, he charms the target, and his sister handles the logistics. Clean, professional, morally questionable.

His latest job is the hard one. A wealthy father wants his daughter Juliette's wedding in Monaco cancelled within a week. Juliette, played by Vanessa Paradis, is the problem: she is not unhappy, not restless, not looking for an exit. The film lives entirely on the spark between Duris and Paradis, and Chaumeil has the sense to let it breathe rather than pile on the plot mechanics. Warm, slick, and genuinely funny in the right places. Watch Heartbreaker (2010) online on iFILM.
