Fresh from winning the prestigious Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, an official release date for Amour has been set!

The movie will be released on Dec. 19 of this year by Sony Pictures, the distributor recently announced via Coming Soon. Perhaps we’re being a bit too cynical, but the date seems to be strategically placed Oscar bait.

Michael Haneke’s Amour will tell the story of a couple as their love is severely tested by a variety of events and people. Check out the Cannes trailer below!

Will you watch Amour when it hits theatres this winter?
