Potiche
Catherine Denueve plays Suzanne Pujol, a "potiche", or trophy wife. Mme Pujol's household is wealthy but not super-rich. Her cantankerous and reactionary husband Robert (Fabrice Luchini) is the president of the factory Suzanne's father originally founded; his aggressive and insensitive management style has done nothing to cool a growing atmosphere of unrest. But when Robert's health is shattered by a violent strike, Suzanne has to take over the factory, and does so with the help of a secret ex-lover, the communist mayor Maurice Babin, tenderly played by Gérard Depardieu. Director: Francois Ozon Starring: Catherine Deneuve, Fabrice Luchini, Gerard Depardieu Rating: 15 Year: 2010 Country: France Length: 103mins (subtitled) |
