L'amour braque

L'amour braque (Mad Love) is a 1985 French romantic drama directed by Andrzej Żuławski, loosely inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1869 novel The Idiot. The story follows a bank robber heading to Paris who crosses paths with a neurotic dreamer he dismisses as a fool. The dreamer attaches himself to the robber and gradually falls in love with the man's girlfriend, a hopeless passion that pushes the trio toward a tragic conclusion.

The film stars Sophie Marceau, Francis Huster and Tchéky Karyo, with a screenplay co-written by Żuławski and Étienne Roda-Gil. It was nominated for Best Film at the Fantasporto International Fantasy Film Festival in 1986.
