Program Notes

Irresistibly charming, Heartbreaker stars acclaimed French actor Romain Duris and César Award winner Vanessa Paradis. Professional heartbreaker Alex can turn any husband, fiancé, or boyfriend into an ex in a matter of weeks! Hideouts, phone taps, fake identities, killer smile—Alex shamelessly uses everything he’s got to earn his fee. He’s not a complete mercenary, though: Alex refuse to split happy couples. He bends the rule, however, and agrees to accept the challenge of parting a wealthy man’s daughter, Juliette, from her seemingly perfect boyfriend, though the pair are scheduled to marry in 10 days. As Alex travels from Paris to Monaco, he discovers that when it comes to matters of love, there’s no perfect plan.
