User reviews 31 Review. Top review. Based on a French play, Potiche aka. Trophy Wife is set in Suzanne Pujol Catherine Deneuve , a 'trophy housewife', finds out she must step up to manage her tyrannical husband Robert's Fabrice Luchini umbrella factory after the workers go on strike and take him hostage.
To everyone's surprise, Suzanne proves herself to be a very competent leader of action. Her adult son and daughter also start to take more interest in the workings of the factory. Whenever a film of recent years, like this one, try to fully capture the feel and style of a 70's film or anything retro with editing, camera tricks, and colors reminiscent of that era, I can't help but smile.
Had I not known that this film was made in , I could have been convinced that this was a film made in that decade. Of course, this is aside from the dead giveaways to the contrary with the appearances of well-known French actors who have obviously aged.
A mixture of pastel and hot colors permeate throughout the film, along with bell-bottoms, retro hairstyles, design patterns, and clothing. The colorful umbrellas in the film are perhaps a good reminder of Deneuve's older, famous film, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. The colorful, playful, comedic tone of this film remains consistent, yet there are just enough complexities in the plot to keep the film from getting dull.
Advertisement Admittedly, there's something rather monotonous about casual adulterous relationships in French films. It's almost expected in a French comedy Unlike in America, French must find adultery sooooo funny. Nevertheless, Suzanne is content with her life at home as Robert provides for her, materially. Once Robert is taken hostage and Suzanne takes over as manager of the company, the secretary becomes one of her closest allies.
Catherine Deneuve is quite likable in this film. It's hard not to cheer for the initially soft-spoken Suzanne. And, well, she gets things done.
