For Lovers Only is a 2011 romance film directed by Michael Polish, written by Mark Polish and produced by The Polish brothers and Sean O'Grady. The film stars Stana Katic and Mark Polish. It was expected to be released in theaters in the United States in June 2011, but eventually adopted an online distribution strategy.
In the film, Katic plays Sofia, a journalist and former model, while Polish plays Yves, a former fashion photographer. Sofia chances upon Yves, a former lover, while on assignment. The story draws upon Claude Lelouch's A Man and a Woman and the French New Wave for inspiration and focuses on the couple's flight from Paris via a variety of forms of transportation: train, car and motorcycle. Their travels extend from Normandy to St. Tropez. Mark Polish notes that the film lies somewhere between A Man and a Woman and The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night. The film, which was shot in Paris and various locations throughout France, premiered for industry guests in Beverly Hills on September 29, 2010.
For Lovers Only was scored by Kubilai Uner. It is a black-and-white film. The film released as video on demand by In Demand in June. On Monday July 11, it ranked number 2 on the iTunes Store romance movies chart, number 4 on the iTunes independent films chart and was among the Top 100 in all movie rental and downloads. Using what is being described as a direct-to-iTunes strategy, it was atop the iTunes romance films for two weeks and in the top ten for four. After topping $500,000 in earnings through digital sales, the movie is expected to appear in United States theaters in the fall 2011.
