The French film I watched on the first day of the festival was quite a smile. I chose this film not only because of François Ozon (whose films I have seen since 8 Femmes, except for a short film), but also because of Catherine Deneuve, who in recent years I have watched a lot of her movies. When I was

picking out the films, I found that many of them were relatively low-key or gray, but they didn’t look like they were. People will smile.

In France in 1977, Suzanne Pujol (Catherine Deneuve), who was forced to work at home as a trophy wife all day long, took care of her family well. Her husband was the owner of her grandfather's umbrella factory. . Both of their children are grown up, the daughter's marriage is in crisis, because the husband is often away on business, and she has to take care of the two children and can't run around with him. The son is an artist, and has a father who doesn't like it very much. Girlfriend.

"Potiche" in English means vase, that is, a vase, which is a vase at home. Of course, how can Catherine Deneuve just be a vase at home? She even replaced her husband by inheriting her father's business, making the umbrella factory a lot, and arranging her son to take care of it. Using his artistic talent, he helped in the umbrella factory. At the end of the film, he decided to enter politics, which caused an uproar.

Although Gérard Depardieu did not have many scenes, he had several opposite scenes with Catherine Deneuve. Jérémie Renier, who played his son, I have also seen him perform many times. All actors have very good performances, the plot is funny and humorous, and there is no cold scene.

I almost forgot to mention Karin Viard who plays the secretary and husband's lover Nadège, from loyal to the boss to later loyal to the boss' wife and rival in love , full of jokes. The

costumes are very attractive, and it is worth seeing if there is a chance, and relax.
