La femme de
Director: David Roux
Cast: Mélanie Thierry, Éric Caravaca, Jérémie Renier, Arnaud Valois, Jérôme Deschamps
Mrs. is a French drama about Marianne, a wealthy industrialist's wife who appears to have an ideal life as she approaches her fortieth birthday. When her husband decides to move the family to an ancestral estate, the imposing house begins to feel less like a home and more like a gilded cage.
Mélanie Thierry leads the film as Marianne, whose carefully constructed domestic identity becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. David Roux uses the story to examine marriage, social expectations and the pressure placed on women to conform to an idealized role within an affluent family.
Mrs. has a French arthouse distribution profile, with digital availability dependent on the local distributor and territory.
