In this quintessentially French, and very chic, comedy-drama full of laughs
and emotion, a struggling chauffeur lands a driving job with a famous
fragrance designer who acts like a diva.
The film stars a pair of endearing actors: Grégory Montel, from the
acclaimed TV show Call My Agent – available on Netflix (the show also stars
Laure Calamy, My Donkey, My Lover & I – playing this year at the MiniFest)
and one of our favorite French actresses, Emmanuelle Devos (*Number One* –
SFFF 2018, *The Chef’s Wife *– SFFF 2014)
Montel is Guillaume, a divorced, middle-aged Parisian chauffeur, striving
to make enough money to upgrade to a better apartment so he can share
custody of his young daughter Léa (Zelie Rixhon). Guillaume can’t afford to
lose his job but he has difficulties enduring the entitlement and arrogance
of his latest client, a celebrity “nose” (perfume designer), Anne Walberg
(Devos) , especially as she expects him to not only drive her around and
carry her luggage, but also act as an unpaid personal assistant. Their
first encounter is a disaster, but as in all good “odd couple” movies,
maybe they can learn from each other?…
We follow the mismatched pair wherever Walberg’s work takes them,
introducing Guillaume, and the audience, to the world of the “smell
business,” a multibillion-dollar industry that goes beyond designing
high-end perfumes. Whether it is a museum wanting to recreate the smell of
a prehistorical cave, a leather good company needing to disguise the bad
smell on their expensive bags, or a factory wanting to hide the stench of
its emissions, Anne Walberg can help.

*The second film in our French Film Friday Series, THE FANTASTIC JOURNEY OF
MARGOT & MARGUERITE
<https://virtual.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/film/the-fantastic-journey…>,
deserves a special spotlight because, let’s face it, we don’t show a lot of
kid-friendly films.*
Let's start spring break with this super-fun time traveling adventure
suitable for the whole family!
A comedy with a heart, *The Fantastic Journey of Margot & Marguerite* plays
with the familiar body-swapping concept (remember *Vice Versa* or *Freaky
Friday?*) but this time, two teenagers living 70 years apart trade places.
Taking place in part during World War II, the film also sneaks in some
history lessons between laughs for the young adults, and has enough
cleverness for the grownups to enjoy. Alice Pol, playing Aunt Alice, holds
a striking resemblance to American actress Kathryn Hahn, and, like Hahn, is
a scene-stealing delight.
