Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #55. Abdellatif Kechiche’s Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due

Published on January 16, 2023

Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due

We had Canto Tre at the #63 spot and we are ranking part II (or III depending if you include Intermezzo in the second instalment spot). All eyes appears to be on actor Shaïn Boumedine.

Gist: It’s the end of summer vacation for Amin. The young photographer spends cozy evenings with Charlotte, the ex-girlfriend of his casanova cousin. She talks to him about literature, he photographs her. Between Amin’s encounters with these women and his dreams of cinema, many choices open up to him.

Release Date/Prediction: We believe this will get a festival release but not the big three.
