In Romantics Anonymous, Jean-Rene and Angelique
fall in love drawn
together through a shared passion for chocolate but neither is able to express how they feel. Sadly, their
crippling shyness is driving them apart. But eventually, they manage to
overcome their lack of self-confidence, and risk baring their true
feelings. The Huffington Post called this "one of France's best new films."
In The Women on the Sixth Floor it's Paris, 1960. Jean-Louis lives a bourgeois existence with his neurotic socialite wife Suzanne while their children are away at boarding school. The couple's world is turned upside down when they hire Maria, a Spanish maid who introduces Jean-Louis to an alternative reality a few stories up on the sixth floor. Befriending a group of sassy Spanish maids, the women teach him there's more to life than stocks and bonds, and their influence on the house ultimately transforms everyone's life. PM
