Plot

The film revolves around the lives of an American cinema school student, named Murphy, and his former French girlfriend, Electra, whom he dated for two years while living in Paris. One day, Murphy and Electra met and had a no-strings-attached threesome with another woman, a young blonde Danish teenager named Omi, as a way to add some excitement to their love life. But later, Murphy had sex with Omi behind Electra's back, as a result of which Omi became pregnant. This unwanted pregnancy ended the relationship between Murphy and Electra on a horrible note, and it forced Murphy to get married to Omi.

On a rainy 1 January morning, Electra's mother, Nora, phones Murphy at his small Paris apartment where he lives with Omi and their 18-month-old son to ask him if he's heard from the young woman, because she hasn't for three months, and given her daughter's suicidal tendencies, she is really worried. For the rest of this day (and the film), Murphy recalls his past two years with Electra in a series of fragmented, nonlinear flashbacks; how they first met in Paris, their quick hookup, and their lives over the next two years which is filled with drug abuse, rough sex and tender moments.

Production

Casting

Love is the screen debut of the two main actresses of the film, Muyock and Kristin. Noé met them in a club. He found Karl Glusman for the role of Murphy through a mutual friend.

Budgeting

The budget of the film was around $3 million. Principal photography took place in Paris.

Filming

In a pre-release interview with Marfa Journal, Gaspar implied that the film will have an explicitly sexual feel: "will give guys a hard-on and make girls cry". The sex scenes were unsimulated and most were not choreographed. There was barely a script and Noé would set up different real-life meetings with the actors to find chemistry before they even knew they were actually going to film together.
