Love Actually

7 yrs 135 minutes • 2003 • 7.6

The British Romantic Comedy Love Actually, the directing debut of scriptwriter Richard Curtis, who have written scripts to films like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, switches between no less than ten loosely intertwined love and friendships relations against the backdrop of a beautiful London that is approaching Christmas. The diversity of love stories provides space for a variety of tales about the different expressions or shapes of love, which in turn strengthen the film's basic idea that love actually is everywhere. It's all about romance, sexual attraction, forbidden love, betrayal, to the prime minister's love to the catering girl, a ten-year-old boy's first staggering declaration of love and the profound friendship between a dazzled rock man and his manager.
