A selection of unusual love couples in cinema (14 photos)

Love lines in cinema are usually full of clichés. “A hero and a lady in distress”, “a bad boy and a good girl”, “a loser and a fatal beauty” and so on. But many directors are trying to break this mold and show a truly unusual and exciting romantic story with or without a happy ending. But not everyone manages to create a couple in which the viewer would believe in chemistry. But this post is not really about that. We have collected unusual “cinema couples” that stand out from the background of our usual plots.
