Potiche

A comedy by Barillet and Grédy | Directed by Charles Templon When Robert, the despotic owner of an umbrella factory, collapses, his wife Suzanne—who until then had been relegated to the role of a “decorative wife”—must take over. What was supposed to be a brief interlude turns into a true metamorphosis, upending the balance of power within both the family and the company. Charles Templon’s lively direction revives the elegance of the genre, with delightful misunderstandings and cutting one-liners. Clémentine Célarié shines in the role of Suzanne, surrounded by an irresistible cast led by Hugo Bardin (Paloma), Jérôme Pouly, Benjamin Siksou, and Alexie Ribes. A fierce and modern comedy that humorously highlights the changing role of women.
