The latest film from movie legend Catherine Deneuve is a tongue in cheek comedy with a big heart set in the 1970's. Deneuve is the trophy wife (Potiche) of a miserable man who takes her and the world for granted.
The script is well written and the subtitles don't do all the innuendo justice, but still give enough to know just how funny this film is.
70's STYLE FROM THE WOMEN OF POTICHE
From a fashion standpoint Potiche is a goldmine! Set in the leafy suburbs of Western France, the women look like they just walked off a runway from Spring 2011! That's right, if you didn't realize just how much the 70's has influenced every major runway collection from Ferragamo to Chloe, Potiche will set you straight.
Set in an umbrella factory, (a nod to Deneuve's famous -"The umbrellas of Cherbourg") the film gives you an up close look at the state of union / management relations in France of the day that still exist to this day. When negotiations get tough - workers just might kidnap the boss! 
ELLE - APRIL 2011- SALVATORE FERRAGAMO - 70'S INSPIRED SPRING 2011
Never fear, Deneuve is here...
CHLOE - FALL 2010 and seems to be having more fun in film today than she ever has in her now 40+ year career!
Potiche is one of the biggest films in France this year, and could become one of Deneuve's biggest as well.
