Storyline

Thomas Vinterberg’s It’s All About Love takes place in the near future and tells the story of two lovers fighting for their love and ultimately for their lives in a world out of balance. It is a classic love story with elements of Hitchcockian suspense. John (Joaquin Phoenix) and the world famous ice skater Elena (Claire Danes) have a cosmopolitan marriage and have lived apart for a number of years. John in Poland, Elena mostly in New York. Time has made the distance between them grow, and eventually John goes to see Elena in New York to get a divorce. But as John arrives in New York he realizes that unexpected and inexplicable things are going on around Elena. The people he knew as friends, might not be friends after all. The love he thought had died, bursts into flame again. And it becomes up to John to save Elena from her destiny. If he can.
