A Lady In Paris (2012)

A Lady In Paris

Summary: Jeanne Moreau illuminates this stylish comedy drama as a haughty old dame with an acid wit.  Moreau turned 84 this year, but effortlessly steals the show in this elegant film from Estonian director Ilmar Raag (The Class). As the acerbic Frida, an elderly Estonian in Paris, Moreau has perfected the withering look, relishing each frosty one-liner she throws at Anne (Laine Magi), the middle-aged compatriot who must care for her. An intimate comedic portrait of two very different women, A Lady in Paris is an insight into the real dilemmas families face with aging: feisty matriarchs!
