Film Review: Sydney Film Festival 2012 - Love Lasts Three Years (CTC)

Tiamo, Liebe and je t’aime, they’re all ways to profess your love. But then, it was Darren Hanlon who once described “love” as a crazy generalisation used for a hundred different feelings and situations. In many ways, Love Lasts Three Years (or L’amour dure Trois Ans) is just another arts piece dealing with love and in particular, the dissolution of a relationship. But what sets this film apart from the typical pack of romantic comedies is the sharp and witty treatment of the subject matter.
