“It is with this love from afar, this practical love; where we can each prosper; a heart that beats slowly; a heart that beats with purpose… my sensible heart.” An extract that has been taken from Henry Copper’s book, an unusually traditional and uptight British author who is restricted when it comes to passion in his novels.
Mexican director and writer ‘Analeine Cal y Mayor’s’ film ‘The Book of Love’ was produced by Michael Knowles, Naysun Alae-Carew, Allan Niblo, Richard Alan Reid, Nick Spicer and Maxime Cottray. Starring Sam Claflin and Verónica Echegui in the lead roles as Henry and Maria, there are also other well-known actors such as Horacio Villalobos, Fernando Becerril, Ruy Gaytan, Horacio García Rojas and Lucy Punch playing other prominent roles in the film.
A movie revolving around Henry who lacks imaginative writing and Maria who is a writer in disguise with incredible imaginative skills towards writing about passionate love helps to unfold a method of writing that appeals to the audience. I think that anyone passionate about writing would love to watch such a film!
A quirky and yet entertaining movie, the movie keeps you interested right from the time that you start watching it. Not at all predictable in any way, the actors have done an incredible job with their acting skills. Even the drama with Maria’s ex is so true to any Latino story!
With soundtracks such as Book Of Love and Spanish songs such as Vamos, and Love Is An Empty Word, the audience is immediately transported to Mexico.
