Potiche

In the small-town middle class of the 70s, Suzanne Pujol floats between starched tablecloths and facade smiles. Model wife, perfect mother, dreamer and transparent, she embodies the ideal trinket… until the day her husband Robert collapses. Then the porcelain breaks. Forced to take back the reins of the family umbrella factory, she overturns the table, redistributes roles and reveals, behind her housewife airs, a lioness who was just waiting for the storm. By signing this visionary comedy in the 70s, Barillet and Grédy did not realize that, 50 years later, it would have lost nothing of its joyful ferocity. Today, carried by the communicative energy of Clémentine Célarié, the boulevard becomes even more a weapon of subversion, where marital hypocrisies, power struggles and thirst for emancipation unleash in a fireworks display of comebacks. For behind the polished appearances and highly comic situations, "Potiche" questions with jubilant insolence the place of women, the weight of conventions and the freedom sleeping in each of them.
