Dir: François Ozon.   Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Gérard Depardieu, Fabrice Luchini.   Language: French with English subtitles.   Type: Comedy.   Awards: Venice Golden Lion nomination 2010.

A bristly tyrant who runs his factory and household with an iron fist is about to experience a shift in power. With a stalwart cast of the ever elegant Catherine Deneuve and a robust Gérard Depardieu, the ebullient humour of this French delight set in the 1970s makes for a joyously featherlight end to our season. A bientôt!

“Ozon’s comedy is a uniquely French skew on the gender politics of the home and the workplace … funny, fast and fondly made.” Anna Smith, Empire

“François Ozon delivers a brassy, colourful comedy of shifting political attitudes in the ‘70s with Catherine Deneuve on fine form.” David Jenkins, Time Out
