What critics compared Trophy Wife to
If you’re not sure about The Women on the 6th Floor, here’s a question that may help you make up your mind: Did you enjoy Potiche, François Ozon’s 2010 comedy about a trophy wife who proves there’s more to her than what is demanded by her societal role? There’s no Catherine Deneuve in The Women on the 6th Floor, and it’s set about 15 years earlier, but if you could overlook the political incorrectness to enjoy the craftsmanship and harmless comedy of Potiche, you’ll probably have a good time at The Women on the 6th Floor, as well.
Fabrice Luchini "Intimate Strangers," "Potiche"…
After playing memorably against type as a boorish factory owner in Potiche, Luchini reverts to more familiar form as a sheltered Parisian grand bourgeois…
Luchini, who played the condescending patriarch in Potiche, is very experienced at this sort of thing.
