Three momentous events are about to occur: a popular actress, Catherine (Valerie Lemercier), will star in a new play but wonders if her work has any value or meaning; A musical prodigy with a worldwide following, Jean-Franois (Albert Dupontel) is to deliver a major recital, but wants out of the limelight despite protests from his wife (Laura Morante); and aging financier Jacques (Claude Brasseur) will auction off his renowned art collection to the dismay of his son (co-scripter Christopher Thompson). Our entree into these worlds is the bubbly Jessica (Cecile de France) who works as a young waitress at the Bar des Theatres on the chic Avenue Montaigne where the three often cross paths, along with Claudie (Dani), the theatre's retiring concierge. Writer-director Daniele Thompson (Jet Lag) directs the top-notch cast with such smooth assurance that this consistently entertaining comedy glows with infectious cheerfulness. Snappy dialogue, vivid characters and strong performances abound, with a little romance thrown in for good measure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50547501989962,"sku":"m7244o","price":10.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/m7244o.jpg?v=1790300330","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/orchestra-seats-dvd-by-daniele-thompson-m7244o","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
