Screening: Potiche 15
Dir François Ozon / France 2010 / 103 mins / In French with English subtitles
Catherine Deneuve stars in Ozon’s satirical comedy as Suzanne, the wife of a despotic company exec taken hostage by his own downtrodden workers. Stepping in to manage the company in his absence, Suzanne proves herself to be more than a mere trophy wife and blossoms as a competent and confident leader.
