POTICHE

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.

83rd ANNUAL ACADAMY AWARDS

JAMES FRANCO & ANNE HATHAWAY HOSTIt's Oscar night, and no other night has L.A. buzzing like the lead up to the big show.   While other awards are prestigious- like The Golden Globes and S.A.G. awards - Oscar is king in Hollywood and in the world of glamour and fashion.   Tune in tonight to see who wears who, and who wins what!   This year has an incredibly eclectic crowd and list of nominees from films as diverse as True Grit, The King's Speech, Black Swan, & Rabbit Hole - just to name a few.   Escaping to the movies this year took us behind the scenes all over the place, from inside the castle of The King of England to the boozing party pad of the founders of Facebook.   What a year at the movies.    Hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway will guide us through the glamorous night.

My favorite this year is I Am Love.   While the movie has been all but shutout at the Oscars, it is nominated for Best Costume Design - which it should win hands down.

See you at the movies!
