Love that you reviewed this. I'm a french speaker and the reason the music sounds very reminiscent of Francoise Hardy is because it's a jukebox musical and all the songs are 20th century French pop songs. The grandmother's song, il n'y a pas d'amour heureux, is a Francoise Hardy cover! Also the maid's song, pile ou face, is not a great translation in the subtitles; in French the phrase heads or tails has a meaning similar to black or white, or, all or nothing. So my life is heads or tails means I live by one extreme or the other.

Isabelle Huppert is so good! My favourite film of hers is La Cérémonie from 1995. It's a real slow burn that's based on a true alligator event 😜 but I think you guys would like it if you like that sort of crime film 😊

I'm so glad you saw this movie 🥰. The first 4 or 5 times I watched it I always forgot the ending twist 😅. Gooped every time. And it's so on brand for you guys : Christmas farce, fabulous outfits, camp, a great makeover, and so on and so on. You didn't mention the opening credits : every actress' name on a specific flower. So stupid and campy, just gets you in the right mood.

As a library worker, appreciated the shoutout to libraries in the beginning!! Cheers!

The way my gay francophone self squealed with joy when I saw you reviewed this! 😍 You may have also recognized Emmanuelle Béart from Manon des Sources, for which I think she’s quite well known here in France.

Thank you Jeremy. I was about to make a patreon donation for this film to be reviewed. So glad that it's not only me finds this film eternally fabulous.

A few years ago I was working in a London Theatre. A handsome Frenchman came in to buy a ticket. He was very charming as well. Then I saw the name on the credit card. It was Francois Ozon. After he'd gone I looked him up to confirm it was definitely him. I'd only watched another of his films, 5x2, a few weeks earlier.

Also, Madame Chanel's song haunts me to this day. Always found it so so beautiful and in some ways relatable

yas! libraries! Cook County (Chicagoland) got rid of late fees too. Hoopla, overdrive, libby. Access your (paid for by you/taxes) services! Fuck audible and fuck bezos! (unrelated, everyone watch The Stroll on HBOmax. It's amazing.

Y'all, I have been watching you for years, and somehow y'all still pull out references that I did not expect. A CLONE HIGH REFERENCE?! IN MY RETRO REVIEW?!?!?! 100/10, perfect show. (I haven't seen Season 2 yet!)
