Les Femmes du 6e etage / Women on the 6th Floor (2010)
by Philippe Le Guay In French
with English subtitles
This romantic comedy, set in Paris 1960, stars Fabrice Luchini as Jean-Louis, a businessman who lives a bourgeois existence with his wife Suzanne, Sandrine Kiberlain, while their children are at boarding school.
Their world is turned upside-down when they hire a Spanish maid who introduces Jean-Louis to an alternative reality on the sixth floor servants’ quarter. The sassy Spanish maids are happy to be in France and not in Franco’s fascist Spain. They teach the businessman that there is more to life than stocks and bonds. This funny social satire is uplifting and enjoyable.
