Felix Van Groeningen and Luca Marinelli Unite for Profound Drama 'Let Love In'

The cinematic landscape is set to be profoundly stirred as acclaimed Belgian director Felix Van Groeningen, known for his emotionally resonant works like 'The Broken Circle Breakdown' and 'Beautiful Boy,' embarks on his next ambitious project: 'Let Love In.' This much-anticipated film promises to be a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the intricate tapestry of family, drawing from the deeply moving narrative of David Grossman’s celebrated novel, 'More Than I Love My Life.'

At the heart of this poignant drama is Luca Marinelli, the magnetic Italian actor whose captivating performance in 'Martin Eden' earned him the coveted Venice Best Actor prize.

Marinelli’s involvement signals a film of intense character study and emotional depth, perfectly aligning with Van Groeningen’s signature style of blending raw human experience with breathtaking cinematic artistry.

The story centers on Vera, a woman haunted by a traumatic past, and her daughter, Gili, as they navigate the treacherous waters of memory, love, and the secrets that bind them. Grossman’s novel, a literary masterpiece, explores how the echoes of history — including the impact of a political commune and personal betrayals — resonate through generations, compelling characters to confront their identities and the true meaning of connection.

This international co-production brings together the creative forces of Italy’s Indiana Production and Belgium’s Menuet, with The Match Factory handling global sales, indicating a strong presence on the international festival and distribution circuit.

Filming, which is already underway, is taking place across the picturesque and historically rich landscapes of Italy and Slovenia, settings that are sure to add a layer of visual grandeur and emotional authenticity to the narrative.

Van Groeningen's return to the director's chair for a deeply human story, especially one so rich in emotional complexity and based on such a revered literary source, is a cause for excitement for cinephiles worldwide.

With Luca Marinelli leading a cast that is sure to be equally talented, 'Let Love In' is shaping up to be a compelling and deeply affecting cinematic journey into the heart of what it means to love, to lose, and to ultimately find solace amidst life’s most profound challenges. This film is not just a story; it's an invitation to feel, to reflect, and to witness the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.
