Love never fails to fascinate, mystify and inspire. It fuels art, alters the course of history, and turns tough guys to mush. Join us for a delectable collection of award-winning films including the Oscar-nominated Tanghi Argentini, eight interpretations of the world’s oldest emotion in a handful of its countless guises: amorous, filial, platonic, even technological. Vive l’amour!
