The script for Heartbreaker is based on a true story. After the screenwriter Laurent Ridong experienced a family incident, the love story between his cousin and a despicable villain, so the career of hitting the mandarin ducks came into being.
When conceiving the "Heartbreaker" couple, screenwriter Laurent Riton found inspiration in the roles played by Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in the 1934 American film "New York-Miami" .
The new script, which has been revised by director Pascal, is obviously favored by the actors. Vanessa Chantal Paradis gave the director an answer right after reading the script, she just wanted the ending to be a little stronger. Romain Duris likes the script, but he has doubts about Alex's attitude. Laurent said maybe the film was too far from the genre he was used to. They spent another three months redesigning the characters for "user" needs, and he finally accepted.
According to director Pascal, the script "Heartbreaker" has a deeper meaning. The story is not entirely politically correct. It's kind of like an implicit social commentary. Alex, played by Romain Duris, comes from a more commoner background than Juliet, played by Vanessa Chantal Paradis, and he's going to seduce this noble woman. This is a conflict between classes. Alex's 3e approach is questionable, but his work is aimed at helping women make important life choices. Ultimately, it's about ethics.
And in the eyes of supporting actor François Damian, on the one hand, they are swimming in overflowing romance, and Vanessa Chantal Paradis and Romain Duris are a delightful pairing. The crew has made them into the role in a strange way. On the other hand, there is Juliette Ferrier and his comedies. The film will lead the audience to bump back and forth between the two styles.
