Starring Emmanuelle Devos, Zelie Rixhon, Gustave Kervern, Sergi López, Grégory Montel, Pauline Moulène
MOVIE LOVERS JULY 2021
Emmanuelle Devos (‘Read My Lips’) and Gregory Montel (‘Call My Agent) shine in this fragrant French drama.
Anne Walberg (Devos) was once the star of her industry – a perfumer whose ability to produce enticing new fragrances was second to none and which saw her rise through a competitive landscape. She remains in demand, but her intemperate behaviour has made her difficult. However, striking up an unlikely friendship with her equally troubled new driver, Anne sees a way to return to the top, which might offer a solution to both their problems.
Grégory Magne’s intelligent drama is a visual and sophisticated treat. A breath of fresh – albeit scented – air.
FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES
★★★★ “A quietly delightful French comedy” - The Times
★★★★ “Enchanting” - The Irish Times
★★★★ “Admirably refreshing” - The Guardian
"a leisurely, wistful approach to storytelling" – Time Out
