Showings

In 1930s Paris, Madeleine, a pretty, young, penniless, and talentless actress, is accused of murdering a famous producer. Helped by her best friend, Pauline, a young, unemployed lawyer, she is acquitted on the grounds of self-defense. A new life of fame and success begins, until the truth comes out.

The film touches on cancel culture, echo chambers and filter bubbles. But it’s also primarily, and fabulously, silly.

Ozon, as ever, is not just having fun. He is also making mischief with the sexual politics of the plot.
