ACTRESSES

Marcelline is an actress. Forty, single and childless, she begins rehearsals for Turgenev’s A Month in the Country. Denis, the director, admires her greatly and promises he’ll make her happy on stage – she will shine. But things don’t go to plan.

Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi directs and acts in this delightfully wacky and touching comedy on the eventful and difficult lives of actresses. From tears to laughter, this award-winning film starring Mathieu Amalric and Louis Garrel explores a range of emotions with playful, swirling ingenuity.
