While Paris is the epicenter of fashion this week, the city itself is the focus New York's film industry. Catherine Deneuve, the legendary French actress and iconic beauty, attended the U.S. premiere of her new film Potiche last week to celebrate the opening night ofRendez-Vous with French Cinema, an annual showcase of contemporary French film presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and UniFrance Films.

Deneuve stars with Gérard Depardieu (a pairing akin to Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro) and she plays Suzanne Pujol, a rarefied bourgeoisie housewife ("potiche" translates to "trophy wife") to Depardieu's rough-hewn proletariat union leader, Maurice Babin. When her insufferably chauvinistic and philandering husband, who runs her father's umbrella factory, is taken hostage by striking workers, Suzanne steps in to manage the factory and is thrown together with Babin, with whom she once shared a youthful tryst.

Deneuve and Depardieu have done six films together, beginning in 1980 with François Truffaut's The Last Metro, which won ten Césars (including Best Actor and Best Actress) and they make magic in Potiche. Deneuve said, "It's so natural. I love and admire [Depardieu] enormously. He's an actor who is so present and warm with his partners. Plus he's funny. He doesn't like to rehearse, he likes to shoot, he has a tendency to want to speed things up. I think Gérard really had fun playing this union man. He was a natural in the part, it just flowed. Gérard's acting style is direct and instinctive. With Gérard, you can change things at the last minute."

The film is nominated for four Césars, including Best Actress. It's written and directed by François Ozon (adapted from the Barillet /Grédy play) and is a very funny satire of 70's pop culture with Brady Bunch-style graphics and a Saturday Night Fever spoof, as well as a screenplay that could teach most Hollywood writers a thing or two. It zigs when the audience expects it to zag, with unexpected turns from the paternity of Suzanne's son, to whether she and Babin will reconcile, and her running for political office. It recalls the original women's movement film, 9 to 5, but suggests that feminism in the workplace may be most effective when women embrace their warmth and humanity rather than emulating men's aggressive management style.

"Things have changed in thirty years, of course, but not that much, actually," said Deneuve. "The play takes place in the 70s, but so much of what happens in it is still happening today: strikes, employers being held hostage, women not having much power, at least compared to men. That struggle is far from being over."

Unlike the U.S., the French generally eschew cosmetic surgery, allowing even its movie stars to age gracefully. Laughing, Deneuve told us, "I don't have many beauty secrets, but I live very much outside, you know? I'm not a country girl, but almost. I'm quite healthy. I don't diet, but I try to eat natural foods and not what you'd call junk food."

As part of the Rendez-Vouz festival, UniFrance Films and BAMcinématek will also co-present a Catherine Deneuve retrospective at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, including 25 films of Deneuve's classic films, through March 31 before it tours nationally and heads to Los Angeles (LACMA, Mar 4—12); Pleasantville, NY (Jacob Burns Film Center, Mar 4—23); Chicago (Music Box Theatre); Boston (The Brattle Theatre); Seattle; San Francisco; and Portland, OR.

Catherine Deneuves boots in this movie are great. In 1974 boots tucked into jeans was not seen very often, it became more popular a few years later. For example my mother wore boots like these about since 1976/1977. In English

The boots Catherine Deneuve wears in this movie are fantastic. In 1974, boots tucked into jeans weren't very common; it became more popular a few years later. For instance, my mother started wearing boots like these around 1976/1977.

in English: Ce cinema de cette epoque a un charme fou. De plus avec de tels acteurs F Rey C Deneuve et J Weber c est profond / intense tt en gardant par son coté surrealiste un decalage une legereté surprenante jusqu au bout de ce scenario intriguant. F Rey a joué un role qq peu similaire ds un autre film tt aussi curieusement ficelé. Avec M Piccoli il me semble. Bref tres bon film qui ns fait replonger a une epoque ou le cinema avait des choses a dire. Je relisais un long "papier" de M. Scorcese au sujet de F Fellini et il rappelait au debut ses 1ers emois cinematographiques en listant tte une serie de films des annees 60 puis 70 qui m ont fait gd effet. Puis il en venait a l'oeuvre de Fellini et expliquait pourquoi... En quoi elle l a tant influencé. La on baigne ds la meme effervescence. Un cinema qui a disparu... Celui des emotions... De l'ICS et de la fantaisie de la vie. 8 Reply @edgarmarquina3029 @edgarmarquina3029 1 year ago La mort de l'Art... Les Avant-gardes étaient perçues comme la fin de l'Art. L'anti-art comme Art, c'est-à-dire un film qui résume un véritable traité d'Esthétique. Le poète Antonin Artaud se voyait comme un anti-artiste, quelqu'un qui a tué l'Art en faisant de l'Art. On voit que le collectionneur du film apparaît comme un artiste frustré mais, en même temps, réfléchit à l'art d'avant-garde. Un film intéressant ! 6 Reply @anneevangelineleblanc2452 @anneevangelineleblanc2452 1 year ago Quel film intéressant et exquis! Deneuve est magnifique dans ce rôle. Merci pour cette trouvaille. 4 Reply 1 reply @AlbanSombreval8686 @AlbanSombreval8686 1 year ago Scène de la conversation espionnée : 30.00. La scène débute par l'écoute de l'enregistrement perturbée, via un dispositif radio. Cet enregistrement dont la qualité subit des impuretés donne au spectateur une sentiment fictif de supériorité par rapport à Perrot. il va quand à lui bénéficier d'une audition parfaite de la scène. Mais le décor subit un changement à la fois visuel et auditif . Croyant avoir sur Perrot, une position de supériorité , (cette position privilégié largement octroyé par tout cinéaste à tout spectateur d'un film), se définissant ici non seulement par l'avantage de la vision mais aussi d'une audition indemne de toute perturbation, il prend de plein fouet cette substitution subversive et comprend en fait que la narration n'est qu'une construction contingente.

In English: This cinema from that era has an enchanting charm. Moreover, with such actors as F. Rey, C. Deneuve, and J. Weber, it is profound/intense while maintaining, through its surrealistic aspect, a surprising detachment and lightness throughout this intriguing scenario. F. Rey played a somewhat similar role in another film that was equally intriguing, with M. Piccoli, I believe. In short, a very good film that takes us back to a time when cinema had something to say.

I was rereading a lengthy "paper" by Mr. Scorsese about F. Fellini, and he recalled his early cinematic experiences, listing a series of films from the '60s and '70s that had a great impact on him. Then he moved on to Fellini's work and explained why it influenced him so much. Here, we are immersed in the same excitement—a cinema that has disappeared... one of emotions... of ICS and the fantasy of life.

The death of Art... Avant-gardes were perceived as the end of Art. Anti-art as Art, meaning a film that summarizes a true treatise of Aesthetics. The poet Antonin Artaud saw himself as an anti-artist, someone who killed Art by making Art. We see that the collector in the film appears as a frustrated artist but, at the same time, reflects on avant-garde art. An interesting film!

What an interesting and exquisite film! Deneuve is magnificent in this role. Thanks for this find.

Scene of the eavesdropped conversation: 30:00. The scene begins with the disrupted listening of the recording via a radio device. This recording, with its impurities, gives the viewer a fictitious sense of superiority over Perrot. He, in turn, benefits from a perfect hearing of the scene. But the setting undergoes a change both visually and audibly. Believing to have a superior position over Perrot (a position widely granted by any filmmaker to any film spectator), defined here not only by the advantage of vision but also by hearing undisturbed by any disruptions, he is hit full force by this subversive substitution and realizes that the narrative is nothing but a contingent construction.
