Anaïs In Love

A charmer of a film which viewers will want to return to again and again, Anaïs In Love, which was a huge hit in its native France, is now getting a DVD release with English subtitles.

The real gems on this release are the deleted scenes. They're shown full length, unedited - ungraded, too, but still looking good. Whilst it's easy to see why they didn't fit into the film, they showcase some great acting work and are every bit as entertaining as the scenes which did make it. Fans will enjoy learning more about the heroine's life, and even getting to see a brief moment of self-reflection, tellingly absent from most of the rest of the film.

Also included are an interview with Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet and the theatrical trailer for the film, which, if you haven't seen it before, makes a nice appetiser before you dive in.
