Love Crazy (French: Amoureux fou), also released as Madly in Love in some markets, is a Canadian romantic comedy film, directed by Robert Ménard and released in 1991.

Synopsis

A 40-year-old ad man, Rémy (Rémy Girard), meets a former lover, Sarah (Nathalie Gascon), and finds himself head-over-heels in love with her all over again. Sarah's husband (Jean Rochefort) is philosophical and figures she will soon tire of the affair. However, Rémy's wife's (Danielle Proulx) reaction is somewhat different. She throws him out, begs him to come back, takes a lover of her own and then slumps into a deep depression.[1]
