Potiche しあわせの雨傘


Based on a French play "Potiche" set in the 1970s, this film depicts how a trophy wife, Suzanne Pujol played by Catherine Deneuve(カトリーヌ・ドヌーヴ), manages the umbrella factory owned by her tyrannical husband Robert, played by Fabrice Luchini(ファブリス・ルキーニ), after his employees go on strike and take him hostage vividly and colorfully. We can enjoy their retro flavored clothes, design patterns, hair styles, and a mixture of pastel and hot colors including the colorful umbrellas in the film. There is also a side story regarding Suzanne's affair with her ex-boyfriend and local politician, Maurice Babin, played by Gerard Depardieu(ジェラール・ドパルデュー), whose chemistry with her is smile-inducing as well.
