To Seduce with Words

What is love and when does it come - if ever?

Jacques Audiard, in NRC 27-4-2022 (discussion about movie 'Les Olympiades' from 2022): in times of Tinder, the discourse of love is differently than for the generations before. In the movie 'Ma nuit chez Maud' (1969) two people talk all night about love, it doesn't come to sex, they seduce each other with words. For the Tinder generation it is very common to have sex on the first meeting. The question then is: where and when does love begin? Earlier in the prelude to the first sex, now sometime after.
