THE HOUSEKEEPER is the latest from one of France’s best loved directors, Claude Berri (Jean De Florrette). Set in Paris and the majestic beaches of Normandy, the film follows Jacques (The Taste of Others’ Jean-Pierre Bacri) a forlon bachelor living alone after his wife has left him.

Deciding to get his life back in order, he hires a housekeeper, Laura (Rosetta’s Emilie Dequenne), to plow through the mess that’s overtaken his apartment.

He soon learns that she’s never done a day of housework in her life. However her presence adds a joyful spark to his life that’s been missing too long in this bittersweet and sexy romantic comedy

“A TASTY FRENCH SOUFFLE… an amused comic reflection with smooth, effortless performances.”- Stephen Holden, The New Tork Times

“Mr. Berri…lets the story develop in a leisurely and organic way, capping it with a last scene that’s subtle and satisfying.”- David Sterritt, The Christian Science Monitor

“DELICIOUSLY COMPELLING Jean-Pierre Bacri exudes marquee magnetism. Laura is lusciously embodied by Emilie Dequenne.”- Nicole Keeter, Time Out New York
