Mektoub, My Love: Intermezzo is a 2019 French erotic drama film produced, co-written, and directed by Abdellatif Kechiche.[1] The film is a sequel to Kechiche's 2017 film Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno, and like its predecessor, is based on the novel La Blessure, la vraie written by François Bégaudeau.[2][3] It stars Shaïn Boumedine, Ophélie Bau, Salim Kechiouche, Alexia Chardard, Lou Luttiau, and Hafsia Herzi
Mektoub My Love, Intermezzo premiered In Competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, and was widely panned. The film also received controversy surrounding the on-set treatment of Bau. A third and final film had supposedly wrapped filming, but is unclear of its status following legal troubles with Kechiche's production company.
