FILM NOTES
A warm, witty reflection on love, memory and the ties that never quite fade.
With What is Love?, Fabien Gorgeart takes a deceptively simple premise — the bureaucratic process of annulling a marriage — and turns it into something quietly revealing. As two former partners revisit the origins and unraveling of their relationship, the past begins to feel less distant than expected, with memories surfacing in ways that are both tender and disarming.
The film finds its strength in these shifting emotional currents, balancing humour with a genuine sense of reflection. What emerges is not a story about rekindling romance in a conventional sense, but about understanding what remains after love changes form. There’s a gentle honesty to its perspective, acknowledging that relationships rarely end cleanly, and that even in moving on, something meaningful continues to echo beneath the surface.
