Actor Romain Duris displays his charming versatility in Heartbreaker, a clever romantic-comedy from first-time French feature-filmmaker Pascal Chaumeil. Duris is Alex Lippi, a self-licensed couple-wrecker with an impeccable track record for seducing women that are unknowingly unhappy. Feeling a financial squeeze, Lippi is forced to take on the most difficult assignment of his career, Juliette, played by Johnny Depp's long-time partner, the lovely Vanessa Paradis. Full of laughs and snappy dialogue, Heartbreaker will satisfy if you're still in that summer state of mind.

IFC Center says…

Charming, funny and effortlessly cool, Alex (Duris) is a professional heartbreaker who for a fee can turn any husband, fiancé or boyfriend into an ex. Alex has one ironclad rule: He only breaks up couples where the woman is unhappy. His latest job will put that rule to the test. The target is Juliette, a beautiful heiress who is set to marry the man of her dreams. With ten days until the wedding, Alex has been hired by her father to carry out his most daring seduction yet that risks him being caught by his ruthless personal creditors, angry exes, and the beautiful and independent Juliette herself. But worst of all, will he discover to his own cost that when it comes to love, the perfect plan doesn't exist?
