"Poriche" was this year's version of the "odd man out" film for me -- a film where the response of the audience is overwhelmingly positive and which never came together for me in any satsifying way.
It's a French farce about a trophy wife (Catherine Deneuve) who takes over her family's umbrella factory when her husband/CEO falls ill. She discovers her passion and her spine and a battle of the sexes ensues when her husband tries to take control back.
Deneuve is the centre of the film about which everything and everyone revolves, surrounded by cliched characters and situations. A film for Deneuve. And Gerard Depardieu completists only.
