Down with Love

• Comedy
• Romance

A vibrant and playfully subversive screwball comedy set against the backdrop of 1962 New York City, *Down with Love* unfolds as a deliberate and affectionate parody of classic Doris Day rom-coms. The film centers on a battle of wits and seduction between a cynical journalist determined to expose a feminist author as a fraud, and the author herself, who designs a fictional persona to critique the shallow expectations placed upon women. Their escalating game of one-upmanship, built on elaborate deceptions and increasingly absurd scenarios, blossoms into a genuinely unexpected connection, challenging both their preconceived notions about love and gender roles. The film’s aesthetic meticulously recreates the visual style of the era, while simultaneously dissecting its inherent tropes, offering a knowingly joyful and ultimately unconventional romantic experience.
